“…On the basis of the quality of the fit, it is difficult to distinguish among many different functions that have been used to fit low-frequency Raman spectra and OKE spectra of molecular or ionic liquids. For instance, overdamped Lorentzian function for the fast relaxation on 1-3 ps time scale, 14 and Brownian-oscillator model, 14,16 Ohmic function, 17 BucaroLitovitz function, 15 or antisymmetrized Gaussian function 15,17 for the intermolecular vibrations have been used. In this work, a Lorentzian band centered at zero wavenumber represents the QES contribution, whose intensity ͑I QES ͒ is depends on temperature, but its bandwidth is essentially the same, within the 5.0-6.0 cm −1 range, irrespective of the ionic liquid and temperature.…”
