Popis: | Spectral line broadening of Rayleigh scattered light in the presence of weak molecular reorientation is calculated by Racah algebra using the Debye rotational diffusion approximation. It is shown that if the incident beam is linearly polarized, the polarized and depolarized scattered components are superpositions of the well known Lorentzian, typical for free rotational diffusion, and non-Lorentzian lines with intensities dependent on the reorientation parameters of the permanent and induced electric dipoles of the macromolecules. The measurement of electrically induced changes in peak intensity is proposed as a method for determining the sign of the optical polarizability anisotropy. |
