    Paper Raman
In summary, the conversation involves someone looking for a specific paper on the study of Raman effect and asking for help in finding it. They are advised to go to a nearby university and inquire about interlibrary loan services to obtain a copy of the article. It is also suggested to approach a professor at the university for assistance in obtaining the paper.

TL;DR Summary
Looking for this paper: Bir, G. L. & Pikus, G. E. 1961 Soviet Phys.-Solid State, 2, 2039.
Hi,

I am looking for this paper in the study of Raman effect which has the following reference: Bir, G. L. & Pikus, G. E. 1961 Soviet Phys.-Solid State, 2, 2039.

Can someone tell where I can find it?

Thank you a lot for your help,

Go to the library at a nearby university. Ask to talk to someone in the interlibrary loan department. They may be able to get you a scan or photocopy of the article, if they can find another library with it in their collections.

It also depends on whether your local university library will do interlibrary loan for community members or only for faculty and students. If that were the case, I'd recommend going to the physics faculty office and see if their secretary will introduce you to a professor who has open office hours. Explain your situation to a professor, and see if they might be willing to ask their library's interlibrary loan department to get a copy of the article.
 

1. What is the Raman effect?

The Raman effect is a phenomenon in which a molecule scatters light in a way that causes a shift in its wavelength. This shift is unique to each molecule and can provide information about its chemical structure and composition.

2. How was the Raman effect discovered?

The Raman effect was discovered by Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman in 1928. He noticed that when light passed through a liquid, a small portion of the scattered light had a different wavelength than the incident light. He later won the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery.

3. What are the applications of the Raman effect?

The Raman effect has many applications in various fields such as chemistry, biology, and materials science. It is used for chemical analysis, identifying unknown substances, and studying molecular structures. It is also used in medical diagnostics and imaging techniques.

4. How does the Raman effect differ from other spectroscopic techniques?

The Raman effect differs from other spectroscopic techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, in that it measures the inelastic scattering of light instead of the absorption of light. This allows for the detection of a wider range of molecules and provides more detailed information about their structures.

5. Are there any limitations to the Raman effect?

Yes, there are some limitations to the Raman effect. It is a relatively weak effect, so the sample being analyzed must have a high concentration or be highly scattering. It is also sensitive to fluorescence, which can interfere with the Raman signal. Additionally, the Raman effect cannot be used to study molecules that do not have a dipole moment.
