Influence of strong and weak hydrogen bonds in ices on stimulated Raman scattering
Abstract:
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in liquid water and ice Ih using Nd:YAG laser is investigated. The spectrum of backward SRS (BSRS) in water is acquired. The spectrum shows an unexpected SRS peak at around 3453 cm(-1) besides the normal peak, which is similar to the spontaneous Raman spectrum of ice VII. The ice VII phase will be formed by laser-induced shock compression in liquid water. Simultaneously, unlike the spontaneous Raman spectrum, the pre-resonance SRS of ice Ih at around 3110 and 3210 cm(-1) is observed. The Raman peaks appeared in liquid water and ice Ih are attributed to the effect of strong and weak hydrogen bonds (H bonds), which should be ubiquitous in other ice phases.
