Abstract:
We report on theoretical and experimental studies of nuclear inelastic scattering in a molecular crystal, whose atoms experience both molecular and lattice vibrations. In this case scattering proceeds as combined nuclear-molecular resonance inelastic scattering. The lattice vibrations give rise to inelastic scattering around the molecular resonances with an energy dependence identical to that around the nuclear resonance. The incoherent nature of the scattering in the molecular resonances results in a proper balance of elastic and inelastic components, which has important implications for studies of heterogeneous systems.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
