Bj. Yang et By. Wang, GROUP-THEORY APPROACH FOR ROTATIONAL RAMAN-SCATTERING, Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, 10(9), 1993, pp. 1649-1650
The symmetries of rotation-vibration states of the diatomic molecules
N2 and O2 are described by means of the chain of subgroups U(4) supers
et-of U(3) superset-of O(3). The transition-matrix elements of rotatio
nal Raman scattering are calculated by means of the group-theory appro
ach. The cross sections of rotational Raman scattering are given for N
2 and O2. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experi
mental values.
