ON THE THEORY OF RAMAN SCATTERING OF LIGHT BY A MOLECULE,
Abstract
The intensity of the Raman scattering by molecular oscillations is calculated on the basis of the adiabatic approximation. The oscillations are described in terms of harmonic oscillators whose equilibrium positions are displaced with the change of the electronic state of the molecule, but whose frequencies remain unchanged. For the solution of the corresponding quantum mechanical second order perturbation theory problem a new method is applied, permitting to sum up all intermediary states. Also some general problems connected with the second order perturbation theory are discussed, as the relation of such problems with Green's functions, and Green's function for the harmonic oscillator's stationary Schrodinger equation is obtained. Lastly, some sum rules for the second order perturbation theory matrix elements are derived. (Author)
