Raman spectra intensities

All data were processed by a central computer to derive both temperature and species concentrations. The details of these computer fits are identical to those described elsewhere (10, 11) with the exception that a vibrational partition function correction was included in the analysis of the data. The absolute mole fractions of fuel, 0 CO, H2, C0 , and H2O were determined by flowing known concentrations of these gases mixed with known concentrations of N2 through the burner. A comparison of the intensity of the N2 Raman spectrum intensity to the Raman spectrum intensity of any of the other gases provided an absolute calibration for all laser Raman scattering flame studies. 

Because of the two frequencies, Wj and Wg, that enter into the Raman spectrum, Raman spectroscopy may be thought of as a two-dimensional fomi of spectroscopy. Nomially, one fixes oij and looks at the intensity as a frmction of tOj, however, one may vary tOj and probe the intensity as a frmction of tOj - tOg. This is called a Raman excitation profile. 

The state of aqueous solutions of nitric acid In strongly acidic solutions water is a weaker base than its behaviour in dilute solutions would predict, for it is almost unprotonated in concentrated nitric acid, and only partially protonated in concentrated sulphuric acid. The addition of water to nitric acid affects the equilibrium leading to the formation of the nitronium and nitrate ions ( 2.2.1). The intensity of the peak in the Raman spectrum associated with the nitronium ion decreases with the progressive addition of water, and the peak is absent from the spectrum of solutions containing more than about 5% of water a similar effect has been observed in the infra-red spectrum. ... 

Solutions of dinitrogen pentoxide in nitric acid or sulphuric acid exhibit absorptions in the Raman spectrum at 1050 and 1400 cm with intensities proportional to the stoichiometric concentration of dinitrogen pentoxide, showing that in these media the ionization of dinitrogen pentoxide is complete. Concentrated solutions in water (mole fraction of NgOg > 0-5) show some ionization to nitrate and nitronium ion. Dinitrogen pentoxide is not ionized in solutions in carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or nitromethane. ... 

It is an intensely reactive and hygoscopic yellow-brown substance (m.p. 75-78°C) its volatility suggests a low molecular mass Mossbauer spectra indicate 6-coordinate gold while the Raman spectrum is interpreted in terms of cw-bridged octahedral units. In the gas phase at 170°C, it comprises dimers and trimers [29] (electron diffraction). 

The third common level is often invoked in simplified interpretations of the quantum mechanical theory. In this simplified interpretation, the Raman spectrum is seen as a photon absorption-photon emission process. A molecule in a lower level k absorbs a photon of incident radiation and undergoes a transition to the third common level r. The molecules in r return instantaneously to a lower level n emitting light of frequency differing from the laser frequency by —>< . This is the frequency for the Stokes process. The frequency for the anti-Stokes process would be + < . As the population of an upper level n is less than level k the intensity of the Stokes lines would be expected to be greater than the intensity of the anti-Stokes lines. This approach is inconsistent with the quantum mechanical treatment in which the third common level is introduced as a mathematical expedient and is not involved directly in the scattering process (9). 

The adsorbent was treated with hexamethyldisilazane in order to methylate the OH group but the 3750 cm-1 hydroxyl band did not decrease appreciably in intensity. Bands did appear due to Si(CHs)s groups and it was concluded that methylation of the hydroxyls, other than those seen in the Raman spectrum, had occurred. 

Figures 8 and 9 shows a part of the bending region at low temperature containing the components of Vg (150-160 cm ) and Vs (190-200 cm ). The Vg vibration, IR active in the free molecule, has weak components in the Raman spectrum. According to theoretically calculated Raman intensities, which almost perfectly fit the experimental spectrum, the big component has a very low scattering cross-section [87] and is accidentally degenerate with the b2g component at ca. 188 cm. The IR active components of Vg cause strong absorptions in the IR spectrum even if the crystalline sample used for transmission studies is as thin as 400 pm [107, 109].

First attempts to model the vibrational spectrum of polymeric sulfur have been reported by Dultz et al. who assumed a planar zig-zag chain structure [172]. The calculated vibrational DOS was in qualitative agreement with the observed Raman spectrum of fibrous sulfur. However, some details of the spectrum like the relative intensities of the modes as well as the size of the gap between stretching and bending vibrations could not be reproduced exactly by this simplified model [172]. 

A Raman spectrum of p-S is shown in Fig. 29. While the Raman lines in the stretching region (430-520 cm ) are of high intensity, exceeding those...

Fig. 3 a UV-Vis DRS spectra of dehydrated TS-1 catalyst reporting the typical 208 nm (48000cm i) LMCT hand, see Fig. 2h also reported are the four excitation laser lines used in this Raman study near-lR (dotted), visible (full), near-UV (dashed) and far-UV (dot-dashed), b Raman spectra of dehydrated TS-1 obtained with four different lasers emitting at 7 = 1064,422,325, and 244 nm (dotted, full, dashed, and dot-dashed lines, respectively). Raman spectra have been vertically shifted for clarity. Although the intensity of each spectrum depends upon different factors, the evolution of the 7(1125)//(960) ratio by changing the laser source is remarkable. The inset reports the Raman spectrum collected with the 244 nm laser in its full scale, in order to appreciate the intensity of the 1125 cm enhanced mode. Adapted from [48] with permission.

In the time-domain detection of the vibrational coherence, the high-wavenumber limit of the spectral range is determined by the time width of the pump and probe pulses. Actually, the highest-wavenumber band identified in the time-domain fourth-order coherent Raman spectrum is the phonon band of Ti02 at 826 cm. Direct observation of a frequency-domain spectrum is free from the high-wavenum-ber limit. On the other hand, the narrow-bandwidth, picosecond light pulse will be less intense than the femtosecond pulse that is used in the time-domain method and may cause a problem in detecting weak fourth-order responses. 

It can be seen from Figures 3.7 and 3.8 that the calculations reproduce very well not only the experimental spectra but also the experimentally observed isotopic shifts indicating a high reliability of the computational method. According to this comparison, definite attribution can be made for even the difficult Raman bands that cannot be assigned based solely on the experimental results. It is, however, necessary to mention at this point that the calculated Raman spectrum provided directly by the ab initio computations correspond to the normal Raman spectrum with the band intensity determined by the polarizability of the correlating vibration. Since the intensity pattern exhibited by the experimentally recorded resonance Raman spectrum is due to the resonance enhancement effect of a particular chromophore, with no consideration of this effect, the calculated intensity pattern may, in many... 

Anti-Stokes picosecond TR spectra were also obtained with pump-probe time delays over the 0 to 10 ps range and selected spectra are shown in Figure 3.33. The anti-Stokes Raman spectrum at Ops indicates that hot, unrelaxed, species are produced. The approximately 1521 cm ethylenic stretch Raman band vibrational frequency also suggests that most of the Ops anti-Stokes TR spectrum is mostly due to the J intermediate. The 1521 cm Raman band s intensity and its bandwidth decrease with a decay time of about 2.5 ps, and this can be attributed the vibrational cooling and conformational relaxation of the chromophore as the J intermediate relaxes to produce the K intermediate.This very fast relaxation of the initially hot J intermediate is believed to be due to strong coupling between the chromophore the protein bath that can enable better energy transfer compared to typical solute-solvent interactions. ... 

A Raman spectrum consists of scattered intensity plotted versus energy each peak corresponds to a given Raman shift from the incident light energy. If the molecule happens to be in an excited vibrational state when an incident photon is scattered,...
