OL which is important in vibrational Raman spectroscopy, to be discussed in Section 6.2.3.2. 

The use of vibrational Raman spectroscopy in qualitative analysis has increased greatly since the introduction of lasers, which have replaced mercury arcs as monochromatic sources. Although a laser Raman spectrometer is more expensive than a typical infrared spectrometer used for qualitative analysis, it does have the advantage that low- and high-wavenumber vibrations can be observed with equal ease whereas in the infrared a different, far-infrared, spectrometer may be required for observations below about 400 cm. ... 

Raman spectroscopy is an emission technique involving the scatter of absorbed light often in the visible region. Raman bands arise from changes in polarizability in molecules during a vibration. Raman spectroscopy is widely used to monitor compounds that have highly... 

Both Raman and infrared spectroscopy provide qualitative and quantitative information about ehemieal species through the interaetion of radiation with molecular vibrations. Raman spectroscopy complements infrared spectroscopy, particularly for the study of non-polar bonds and certain functional groups. It is often used as an additional technique for elueidating the molecular structure and symmetry of a eompound. Raman spectroseopy also provides facile access to the low frequency region (less than 400 cm Raman shift), an area that is more difficult for infrared speetroseopy.

For any vibrational mode, the relative intensities of Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering depend only on the temperature. Measurement of this ratio can be used for temperature measurement, although this application is not commonly encountered in pharmaceutical or biomedical applications. Raman scattering based on rotational transitions in the gas phase and low energy (near-infrared) electronic transitions in condensed phases can also be observed. These forms of Raman scattering are sometimes used by physical chemists. However, as a practical matter, to most scientists, Raman spectroscopy means and will continue to mean vibrational Raman spectroscopy.

As a probe of lattice vibrations, Raman spectroscopy is very sensitive to intrinsic crystal properties and extrinsic stimuli, especially in semiconductors. It may be employed to study crystal structure and quality, crystal orientation, optical interactions, chemical composition, phases, dopant concentration, surface and interface chemistry, and local temperatme or strain. As an optical technique, important sample information may be obtained rapidly and nondestructively with minimal sample preparation. Submicron lateral resolution is possible with the use of confo-cal lenses. These features have made it a vital tool for research labs studying semiconductor-based technologies. They also are increasingly important for the study of semiconductor NWs fabricated by both top-down and bottom-up approaches since many of the common characterization methods used with bulk crystals or thin films cannot be applied to NWs in a direct manner. 

Second, combined evidence from theoretical computer modeling studies of short peptides (too short to form any detectable a-helix or (3-sheet) in aqueous solution and a variety of spectroscopic studies, including ultraviolet CD (Rucker et al., 2002), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (Poon et al., 2000), two-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy (Woutersen and Hamm, 2001), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) (Keiderling et al., 1999), and vibrational Raman spectroscopy (Blanch et al., 2000), reveal that the PPII helix is the dominant conformation in a variety of these short peptides. 

Where X in M—H—X is a main group element, different behavior is observed. The case of carbon is particularly important, and here a weak or medium weak asymmetric stretch is observed at a frequency slightly lower than v(C—H) for the uncomplexed ligand. For example, v(MHC) as appears at 2510 cm for TaCp(CFTMe3)Cl. In metal borohydride complexes (X = B), the v(BHM)as vibrations are ca. 200cm to lower wavenumber than the v(B—H) terminal vibrations. Raman spectroscopy has not been used routinely on metal hydrides, but useful conclusions can be drawn from this technique. ... 

The first term is a constant and is responsible for the Rayleigh scattering. For nondegenerate vibrations the integrals in the second term vanish unless = uj 1. In these cases it has the value [j(va + 1)] / [308]. The basic intensity parameter of vibrational Raman spectroscopy is the derivative (9a,y/dq), which can be determined from the Raman spectra. 

This leaves ro-vibrational Raman spectroscopy for practical implementations, irrespective of the fact of lower overall intensity. In essence, the piled-up Q-branch with its quantum-amplified amplitude is used to identify and quantify molecules and radicals in gas mixtures. Some typical species and...

Nathan Hammer, a chemistry professor at the University of Mississippi, uses vibrational Raman spectroscopy to help us understand the effects of intermolecular forces on molecular structure and behavior. The vibrational spectrum provides a valuable probe of the electron distribution in the molecules as well. In the spectra shown, for example, a vibrational transition in normal pyrimidine shifts from roughly 1570 cm (where it overlaps with another transition in the spectrum at left) to a clearly distinct peak at over 1580 cm (the spectrum at right) when a water molecule attaches to one of the nitrogen atoms. This upward shift occurs because some electron density transfers from a...

Now we turn to vibrational Raman spectroscopy, in which the incident photon leaves some of its energy in the vibrational modes of the molecule it strikes or collects additional energy from a vibration that has already been excited. The gross selection rule for vibrational Raman transitions is that the molecular polarizability must change as the molecule vibrates. The polarizability plays a role in vibrational Raman spectroscopy because the molecule must be squeezed and stretched by the incident radiation in order that a vibrational excitation may occur during the photon-molecule collision. Both homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomic molecules swell and contract during a vibration, and the control of the nuclei over the electrons, and hence the molecular polarizability, changes too. Both types of diatomic molecule are therefore vibrationally Raman active. It follows that the information available from vibrational Raman spectra adds to that from infrared spectroscopy.
