Rotational Raman spectrum of cyclopropane

The pure rotational Raman spectrum of cyclopropane was observed up to J = 43. We have taken into account the effects of the unresolved K structure of the lines by assigning an effective value of K to the center of each unresolved line. Methods are developed for calculating effective K values for each value of J that allow a simultaneous fit to the R-and S-branch lines. The rotational constants of cyclopropane derived from this research are, in wavenumber units (cm^?1); B₀ = 0.6702₈, D_J = 1.0 × 10^?6, and D_JK = ?1.3 × 10^?6. We have also tested the validity of the method by using it with recent Raman data for BF₃.     

Rotational frequencies of methyl group tunneling.

Methyl tunnel frequencies, measured at 4 K, are found to be 455 +/- 8 kHz in methyl malonamide and 496 +/- 8 kHz in methyl ethyl ketone. The first is unaffected by deuteration of the amide groups. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the spin lattice relaxation time are also reported for methyl malonamide and a further test is made of a previously reported correlation between tunnel frequency and the temperature of the T1 minimum. The measurements are in good agreement with the universal correlation curve.     

Rotational parity and separation of water molecules into spin isomers

A theoretical explanation is proposed for the effect of variations in concentration of water molecule spin isomers in the gas phase during the interaction of molecules with a solid adsorbent surface. The explanation is based on antisymmetric (AS) correlation between proton spin moments and molecule rotation. A new AS correlation occurs during the interaction of the molecule with a dc electric field near the surface. Due to the new (external) AS correlation, ortho-and parawater molecules are formed; separation into spin modifications occurs over degenerate states of each rotational level of the molecule. Water molecule separation into spin modifications at the previous (internal) AS correlation occurs over rotational levels of molecules. The ratio of ortho-and parawater concentrations in the gas phase at the external AS correlation is compared with experimental data on chromatographic separation of water spin isomers. Quantitative agreement is observed between the calculated ratio and the ratio measured for water molecules at the final separation stage.

Rotational Raman generation with near-unity conversion efficiency

We demonstrate collinear generation of equidistant rotational sidebands in low-pressure molecular hydrogen with near-unity conversion efficiency. The spectrum consists of 37 coherent sidebands covering over 20, 000 cm(-1) of spectral bandwidth and ranging from 1.37mum to 352 nm in wavelength.     

Rotational Raman gain suppression in H2

We report measurements of rotational Raman gain suppression in H₂ in the transient regime. Quantitative information about the dependence of the amount of the gain suppression on the pump energy and the propagation angle relative to the pump beam is obtained from angularly resolved measurements of the small signal amplification. These measurements, along with qualitative observations of the Stokes spatial distribution under gain conditions, demonstrate that the gain suppression is confined to a narrow region around the phase matching angle for collimated beams with relatively low gain per unit length. For focused beams with higher gain per unit length the suppressed region can extend to the forward direction, resulting in a two- to three-fold estimated increase in the Raman threshold.     

多条转动拉曼谱线雷达测量对流层大气温度

由于对流层大气中气溶胶的存在,传统的利用大气中瑞利散射和振动拉曼散射测量大气温度的方法具有一定的局限性,然而利用大气N₂和O₂分子的的转动拉曼信号获得大气温度信息的方法不受对流层大气中气溶胶的影响。因此利用N₂和O₂分子纯转动拉曼散射激光雷达开展了测量对流层下部温度分布的实验研究。现有的转动拉曼雷达系统基本上是通过获取单一的转动拉曼谱线来反演大气温度,这就导致了系统的信噪比低,不能很好的反演温度。作者在双光栅单色仪的基础上提出了一种新的雷达信号分光系统。这种新的分光系统的每条通道所获得的信号并不是单独的转动拉曼谱线,而是多条转动拉曼谱线之和,这样就能提高整个系统的信噪比。在较小的激光能量和小口径望远镜的情况下,利用这种方法,雷达系统可以在几公里内获得较好的信噪比。最后实验得到了对流层0.3～5 km高度内的大气温度分布, 它与球载无线电探空仪比较, 二者一致性较好。     

Rotational Raman scattering dependence on pump polarization

The influence of the ellipticity degree of the pump radiation polarization on threshold energies and energy conversion efficiencies of stimulated rotational Raman scattering (SRRS) are investigated in H₂ with a XeCl excimer laser, by using different focusing geometries. For the first time, it is shown that the dependence of SRRS on pump radiation polarization is also affected by the focusing geometry, i.e. whether low- or high-angle focusing is applied. The experimentally determined threshold energies as a function of the pump radiation polarization are in accordance with theory mainly at high-angle focusing geometries. It is also shown for the first time that gain suppression effects on vibrational Raman scattering have to be considered in understanding the experimental results.

Pure Rotational Raman Spectra of Vapor Phase Methanols

Abstract

The rotational Raman spectra of four vapor phase isotopic methanols, CH₃OH, CH₃OD, CD₃OH and CD₃OD, have been reported for the first time in the wavenumber regions from 5 to 100–120 cm^?1. The major parts of the spectra consist of bands equispaced at 3.19, 3.04, 2.56 and 2.46 cm^?1 intervals, respectively, and have been interpreted as the pure rotational S-branch transitions.     

Rotational Raman lidar for obtaining aerosol scattering coefficients

Two-channel lidar signals that are composed of total rotational scattering and elastic signals provide good information about aerosol scattering coefficients. We can calculate the aerosol backscattering coefficient and extinction coefficient directly, without making any assumption or calibration. Generally, a high-spectral-resolution lidar is used for aerosol monitoring, but we have designed a new low-spectral-resolution lidar system that contains both kinds of scattering information simultaneously, and we have retrieved the aerosol scattering coefficient. The results show that there is no need to assume any relation between aerosol backscattering and extinction or to consider any wavelength calibration to determine the aerosol scattering coefficient.

Rotational Raman effects in the wake of optical filamentation

The spatiotemporal effects generated in the wake of a laser filament propagating in nitrogen are investigated. At suitable time delays, a probe light pulse propagating along the wake experiences a strong spatial confinement and a noticeable spectral broadening at the same time. Numerical simulations, well reproducing the experimental findings, show the key role of the impulsive rotational Raman response in the observed phenomena.     

Infrared and Raman study of the interaction between methyl acetate and phenol derivatives

In previous publications [1–3], we have been concerned with the influence of hydrogen bond formation on the Raman intensity of the carbonyl stretching vibration. It has been shown that hydrogen bond association of simple carbonyl bases (cyclohexanone, acetone, acetophenone) with proton donors such as phenol derivatives, hydrochlorid or hydrobromic acid brings about an intensity increase of the ν_CO Raman band; moreover, the intensity enhancement is linearly related to the enthalpy of complex formation. In the present work, these measurements are extended to the complexes formed between methyl acetate (MeAc) and phenol derivatives.

As suggested by the frequency lowering of the ν_CO vibration and the frequency increase of the ν_CO band, complex formation in solution takes place on the carbonyl function.From NMR [4–5] and UV data [6] it can also be concluded that protonation via hydrogen-bonded attachment occurs in solution predominantly at the carbonyl oxygen atom.Literature data for the thermodynamic quantities referring to esters with hydroxylic compounds are scarce. Consequently in this work, we have determined the equilibrium constants and the enthalpy of formation for complexes between MeAc and phenol derivatives. We also report the absolute intensity of the ν_CO Raman band in the free ester molecule and in the complexes, all measurements been made in a solvent of low polarity : carbontetrachloride.     

利用转动拉曼测量大气气溶胶后项散射比

利用大气的弹性散射信号与整个转动拉曼信号的比值,不需要假设任何的气溶胶的消光与后项散射比值,就可得到大气气溶胶的后项散射比。通常测量部分转动拉曼谱线之和代替全部转动拉曼谱线之和。全部的转动拉曼谱线之和是不依赖温度,但部分的转动拉曼谱线之和却是与温度有关的。因此,利用转动部分拉曼谱线之和反演大气气溶胶的后项散射比就会带来误差。模拟了随温度变化不同转动量子数的拉曼谱线之和,并且计算了由这些不同转动拉曼谱线之和反演大气气溶胶后项散射比的误差。然后文章提出了一种新的方法,不需要测量整个转动拉曼谱线之和,而只需要测量单条转动拉曼谱线及大气温度,就可以获得大气气溶胶的后项散射比。最后通过实验给出了实际测量的大气气溶胶的后项散射比的结果。     

pH-dependent fluorescence property of methyl red isomers in silver colloids

We report the use of silver (Ag) colloids in the spectroscopic differentiation of methyl red (MR) isomers (o-MR, m-MR, p-MR) by fluorescence techniques. Under different pH conditions, the formation of MR-Ag complex has an impact on the fluorescence band shapes and peak position shift, which are distinctive between MR isomers. The fluorescence quenching between 400 and 414 nm accompanied by simultaneous enhancement between 510 and 541 nm changes with pH are closely related to energy transfer efficiency and the interaction between the MR isomers and the Ag surface.     

Rotational tunnelling splitting of a chain of four coupled methyl groups

It is our goal to obtain a reliable prediction of the rotational tunnelling spectrum to be expected for a long chain of coupled one-dimensional quantum rotors. The problem is intractable by the simple methods used so far for up to three coupled methyl groups. Therefore, an efficient, nevertheless sufficiently precise method for solving the stationary Schrödinger equation of interacting methyl groups is developed first; it proves to be valid for a broad range of not too weak potential strengths. Then, three scenarios are investigated: they differ with respect to the relative strength of the single-rotor potential and the interaction potential. For each scenario, we illustrate the dependence of the energy level scheme on the number of coupled groups. For strong coupling and weak single-particle potential, the characteristic features of the energy level scheme of interacting methyls are most clearly observable: For as few as four coupled methyl groups we predict tunnelling spectra which are hardly distinguishable from single-methyl spectra. However, the collective behaviour is still important for the value of the tunnelling splitting. Therefore, the interpretation of such a spectrum in terms of single-methyl tunnelling is obvious but misleading with respect to the potential seen by a methyl group in the crystal.
