Abstract

AbstractA band shape function for the isotropic Raman scattering described in terms of the band width in the weak coupling limit and the relaxation time of the bath mode has been proposed by summing the results of Berne et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 45, 1086 (1966)], Wang [Mol. Phys. 33, 207 (1977)] and Knauss [Mol. Phys. 36, 413 (1978)]. The results of band analyses with this function have been compared with those obtained from other conventionally used band shape and correlation functions. The present function is preferable for precise interpretation of vibrational relaxation mechanisms, particularly for those cases where temperature and concentration dependence of the band parameters are involved.
