Abstract:Rayleigh scattering has been investigated in an effort to develop a nonintrusive diagnostic for electric-field strength at moderate (~1 atm) to high pressures. Both experimental and theoretical studies have been made, with experiments conducted on He, Ar, N2, CO2 C4, Kr, and air, and with theory confined to He. In all cases, the Rayleigh signal decreased with increasing applied field strength. However, no depolarization due to the applied field was found. Thus, although the effect appears to be applicable to a… Show more
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.
