Laser Raman spectra of liquid and solid bromine and carbon disulfide under high pressure
Abstract:
Liquid and solid phase Raman spectra of bromine and carbon disulfide were obtained at high pressure in the diamond cell. Single crystals of both compounds were grown under high pressure and polarized Raman spectra obtained. These spectra indicate that the splitting of the symmetric stretching vibration in solid bromine may be due to intermolecular coupling (factor group splitting). The observed splitting of this vibration in liquid and solid carbon disulfide is most likely due to contributions from naturally occurring sulfur isotopes.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
