Low temperature Raman spectrum of xenon diatoms

Abstract
The depolarized Raman spectrum of xenon at low temperature of 193K is reported. The contributions of the bound dimers in the pure rotation and vibration rotation region are enhanced at this low temperature. The experimental profile is compared with the quantum mechanical calculation using different models of the interaction polarizability anisotropy. The BWLSL X2 potential and DID with hyperpolarizability correction gives extremely good agreement with experiment.
