Raman spectroscopy involves
Illuminating a target with a laser
Beam. This produces Raleigh scattering. Does The releigh scattering have the same frequency as the laser beam? So use an optical filter to block the same frequency as the laser?

What you want to see in Raman scattering is inelastic scattering, where the frequency/wave length of the scattered light is different from the illuminating laser. On top of that signal you get a lot of elastic scattering "background" that you have to filter out. The usual way to do that is to use a diffraction grating. You can add a filter to further suppress the illuminating wavelength. The filter has to be tuned to that wavelength

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
