Vibrational spectroscopyRaman spectroscopy

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Raman vibrational spectra depend primarily on changes in molecular polarizability along normal coordinates.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Raman spectroscopyPhoton

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Raman spectroscopy detects photons produced by inelastic light scattering whose frequency shifts encode molecular excitations; most incident photons scatter elastically and fluorescence can obscure the signal.

How to interpret this relation type

A physical process transforms the source into, or produces, the target under the conditions stated in the edge detail.

Raman spectroscopyRaman’s inelastic-scattering observations

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The observed shifted spectral components established inelastic light scattering and supplied the measurable basis of Raman spectroscopy.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
