Form of the tensor of spontaneous Raman scattering
Aleksandrov I.V., Bobovich Ya.S. Maslov V.G.
By measuring simultaneously the degree of depolarization and the inversion coefficients in spontaneous Raman scattering spectra, we show that the spontaneous Raman scattering tensor responsible for some of the oscillations is asymmetrical. The role of the resonance conditions for the excitation spectra and of the mixing of the electron and nuclear motions in this effect is explained. The possibilities offered by spontaneous Raman scattering in vibronic spectroscopy are demonstrated.
