Optical spectra of orientationally disordered crystal. V. Raman spectrum of ice Ih in the range 4000-350 cm-1

Abstract

The Raman spectrum of polycrystalline ice Ih has been investigated using laser excitation in the frequency range 4000-350 cm-1. The relative intensities have been discussed in a semiquantitative way that takes explicit account of the intermolecular coupling of the molecular vibrations in the crystal. The principal conclusions from the work are summarized at the end of the paper. Copyright © 1975 American Institute of Physics.
