An experimental investigation of the motion of flexible molecules in the liquid state by light scattering
Depolarised light scattering is used to investigate the notion of flexible molecules in the liquid state. The spectra obtained are separated into a high frequency component associated with collisional motion, and a low frequency component associated with reorientation. The high frequency component …
