Solids, collision-induced light scattering

This bibliography briefly reviews over 700 studies in collision-induced light scattering (CILS) of gases, liquids, and solids. We consider work concerning the spontaneous Raman spectra of transitory, nonreactive complexes of atoms or simple molecules. Much of the literature deals with spectra that are forbidden in the separated molecular partners, but studies of collision-induced spectroscopic components associated with allowed spontaneous... 

CILS spectroscopy is concerned with the frequency, density, polarization, and temperature dependences of supermolecular light scattering. Pure and mixed gases are considered, that is, complexes of like and of dissimilar molecules are of interest. In Section 1.3, we consider ordinary collision-induced Raman scattering nonlinear and electronic collision-induced Raman processes are the subject of the Appendix CILS of liquid and solid samples are considered in Part II, together with molecular dynamics simulations. 

The Raman spectra of solids have a more or less prominent collision-induced component. Rare-gas solids held together by van der Waals interactions have well-studied CILS spectra [656, 657]. The face-centered, cubic lattice can be grown as single crystals. Werthamer and associates [661-663] have computed the light scattering properties of rare-gas crystals on the basis of the DID model. Helium as a quantum solid has received special attention [654-658] but other rare-gas solids have also been investigated [640]. Molecular dynamics computations have been reported for rare-gas solids [625, 630, 634].
