Using the liquid-core optical fiber technique, we measured the Raman spectral intensities of CCl 4 in CS 2 at concentrations ranging from 90 to 0.05% (v/v). Raman scattering cross-sections (RSCSs) of the 459, 314 and 218 cm −1 CCl 4 bands were calculated using Onsager's theory with the 656 cm −1 Raman band of CS 2 as an internal standard. The results show that the RSCSs of the three CCl 4 bands increase with decreasing concentration of CCl 4 over the whole range measured. It was unexpected that the RSCSs show different changes in various ranges, that is, a flat linear change at higher concentrations and a strong change at lower concentrations. With decrease in CCl 4 concentration from 90 to 0.05% (0.1% for the 314 cm −1 band), the RSCSs of the 459 and 314 cm −1 bands show large increases. The RSCS of the 218 cm −1 band shows a relatively small change in the measured range.
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.
