HIGH-FREQUENCY WINGS OF ROTOTRANSLATIONAL RAMAN-SPECTRA OF GASEOUS NITROGEN

The depolarized, rototranslational light-scattering spectrum of gaseou s nitrogen at 295 K has been computed in the far spectral wings, takin g into account both the allowed Raman lines and collision induction sp ectra. Good agreement between our theoretical results and the experime ntal data [Y. Le Duff and V. Teboul, Phys. Lett. A 157, 44 (1991)] has been observed. Our findings indicate that most of the intensity at la rge frequency shifts is due to the wings of the pressure broadened Ram an lines.
