An interpretation of the solute-solvent interactions in supercritical binary fluids as monitored by interaction-induced Raman light scattering

Recent results from our laboratory have strongly indicated that interaction -induced Raman spectroscopy is an important tool for analyzing the local in teractions between solute and solvent in supercritical binary mixtures. Mor eover, the use of integral equations (as well as molecular dynamics and Mon te Carlo simulations) to interpret the Raman data is essential. Some of the se results have recently been reported, but we now offer additional data as well as a more detailed discussion of how the integral equations results a re able to interpret the Raman data, In other words, this paper offers a be tter understanding the physical state of the binary solutions as a function of density.
