Abstract:
Ab initio calculations are presented for H2 and D2 relative Raman intensities originating from common rotational levels for both vibrational-rotational and pure rotational transitions. Factors f(J) required to correct measured intensities for molecular non-rigidity (e.g. in temperature measurements) are tabulated. The calculations are compared with literature perturbation-theory equations (significant differences at large J in vibration-rotation) and with experiment.
