Hyper‐Raman scattering (HRS) is performed in v‐SiO2, and the results are compared to RS and infrared absorption data. Mode analyses are tested based on two models, either the local C2v symmetry of the Si–O–Si bonds or the Td symmetry of the SiO4 tetrahedra. The HRS boson‐peak (BP) signal is dominated by the quasi‐loca…
