Femtosecond CARS of methanol-water mixtures Academic Article

abstract

• AbstractWe utilize femtosecond timeresolved coherent antiStokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) to study the vibrational dynamics of methanolwater solutions. We measure the beat wavenumbers between Raman modes and coherence decay rates of CH stretch modes (at 2835 cm1 and 2943 cm1) in methanol. We observe a qualitative dependence of the coherence relaxation rate on the concentration of methanol in its water solution. This may be linked to the formation of the recently observed supramolecular structures in methanolwater mixtures. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
