Studies of anisotropic and isotropic Raman line shape yield information about the rotational motion (rotational correlation function) and non-reorientational (vibrational) lifetimes. The rotational motion of carbon disulfide has been studied previously by the techniques of Raman spectroscopy (6, 43), Rayleigh scattering (43, 46) and direct measurement (47). This work was...
In spite of their importance in many systems, liquid surfaces have been
explored at the microscopic level to a much lesser extent than solids. Most surface
analysis must take place in vacuum, a major drawback for liquids. The technique of
time-of-flight scattering and recoil spectrometry (TOF-SARS) has been applied to...
Liquid surfaces are very abundant in nature. Despite the importance of the liquid
interface in general, experimental molecular-level data was almost completely lacking
prior to the last decade and a half. The intent of this work is to provide a means by
which experimental data on the composition of liquid...
