  Leonid Isaakovich Mandelshtam - Definition, explanation
Leonid Isaakovich Mandelshtam (Леонид Исаакович Мандельштам, last name more often spelled as Mandelstam) (May 4, 1879 - November 27, 1944) was a Russian/Soviet physicist of Jewish background.
He was mentor to a Nobel Laureate in Physics Igor Yevgenyevich Tamm in science and life and created one of two major schools of theoretical physics in Soviet Union (another being due to Lev Landau).
The actual discovery (together with Grigory Landsberg) was done in parallel or even earlier than that of Raman (and K. Krishnan) and in Russian literature it is called "combination light scattering" (from combination of frequencies).

Leonid Mandelshtam was one of the 20th century physicists whose monumental input into the science was greatly under estimated in terms of international public recognition.
Leonid Mandelshtam was borne in Mogilev, Belarus, into a well-educated Jewish family on May 5 (18), 1879 - the same year as Albert Einstein.
Soon after Leonid was born, the family of Isaak Mandelshtam moved to Odessa, where in 1897 Leonid graduated from Gymnasia (classical high school) and enrolled in the Physics and Math Department of Novorossiysk University (Odessa).

It is requested that a photograph or photographs be included in this article to improve its quality.
The Igor Tamm article says that he was a mentor to Leonid Isaakovich Mandelshtam "in science and in life," while the Leonid Isaakovich Mandelshtam article says that he was a mentor to Igor Tamm.
Since Mandelshtam was 16 years older than Tamm, it's probably just Mandelshtam who was a mentor to Tamm, unless the relationship was something other than that of a mentor.

Leonid pointed the room and read one of the many poems about Moscow, that were written in that room.
I had a feeling that I was participating in a strange act of reclaiming streets, houses, apartments, trees and pavements for Mandelshtam, his wife, ‘their’ poetry and their resistance.
But Leonid must have done it many times, physically as well as emotionally, and Leonid was not the first to do this.

His main achievement was the measurement of the minute pressure that light exerts on any illuminated surface.
The theorist Leonid Mandelshtam (1879-1944) taught at Strasbourg University for 10 years and returned to Russia on the eve of WWI.
Another key figure for Sakharov’s maturing was Igor Tamm, who guided his graduate study in the theoretical department of the Lebedev Physical Institute, a place where Mandelshtam’s traditions in science and ethics prevailed.

 How the bomb saved Soviet physics | thebulletin.org
Molotov did not take their advice, and the situation grew worse after Leonid Mandelshtam died in 1944.
One by one members of Mandelshtam's school--Grigorii S. Landsberg, Igor Tamm, S. Khaikin, and Leontovich--left the university, which was taken over by a varied group of mediocre physicists.
The university physicists and their philosopher allies went on the attack, accusing the Academy physicists of spreading cosmopolitanism and idealism, of not citing Russian scientists, of avoiding honest arguments, of refusing to develop fundamental physics, and of spying for Germany.

The reason lies in the multiple-year secrecy of the Soviet science, ideological impediments, besides, there ocurred several cases of obvious injustice on behalf of the Nobel Committee.
Thus, the 1930 Prize for discovery of the combinational scattering phenomenon was given to Raman, although the article by Grigori Landsberg and Leonid Mandelshtam had been published earlier.
In 1951, the Prize was given to McMillan (USA) for discovery of the self-phasing principle.

The polarization of the Raman scattered light with respect to the crystal and the polarization of the laser light can be used to find the orientation of the crystal, if the crystal structure (specifically, its point group) is known.
Inelastic scattering of light is sometimes called the Raman effect, named after one of its discoverers, the Indian scientist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (1928, together with K. Krishnan and independently by Grigory Landsberg and Leonid Isaakovich Mandelshtam).
Raman won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for this discovery, accomplished using filtered sunlight as a monochromatic source of photons, a colored filter as a monochromator, and a human eye as detector.
