Dynamics of molecular liquids under conditions of high pressure and geometric confinement
Raman spectroscopy is utilized to further the understanding of the molecular dynamics of liquids. The fluids are studied under conditions of high pressure and confined to spatial geometries whose dimensions approach the molecular diameters of the fluids. The dynamic processes studied include intermolecular and intramolecular energy transfer; vibrational and reorientational relaxation mechanisms; and the influence of attractive and repulsive molecular interactions.
