The close relationship between Raman spectroscopy and electronic spectroscopy is discussed in detail. It is found that information obtainable from these two fields are really complemental. Expressions for the contributions to the Raman scattering process from vibronic interactions and Condon effects are derived. The theoretical considerations are applied to calculate absolute Raman intensities of many diatomic molecules, to derive the selection rules of rotational Raman spectrum, and to interpret Raman spectra of organic crystals.
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.
