Raman Band Contours. I. Spherical Top Molecules

Abstract

The general theory of Raman band contours of spherical tops is discussed, and a computer program for calculation of band envelopes of triply degenerate bands is described. Effects of Coriolis coupling on band contours from ζ = − 1.0 to + 1.0 and a method for determination of Coriolis coefficients from observed bands were investigated. Applications to presently available data are given.
