Raman spectra of aqueous zinc halide solutions are obtained in both liquid and glassy states. It is shown that the detection and characterization of weak low frequency Raman bands in aqueous solutions is much easier in the Raman spectrum for the glassy state than for the liquid state. Comparison of the spectra shows that the tetrahedral ZnX:-ions are the most stable ionic entities in the glassy state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
