Abstract
Light is scattered by a liquid sample as a consequence of the structural disorder of liquids. Thus the whole of the effect observed in a light scattering experiment is due essentially to the property of liquids of being in a disordered state. This contrasts light scattering spectroscopy to most other spectroscopic techniques which probe essentially molecular properties that are modified to a certain degree by the nature of the liquid environment interacting with the molecules used as spectroscopic probes. Thus the scattered light reflects the structure and the dynamics of the liquid state directly, whereas in other spectroscopic techniques the liquid state properties appear in higher approximation only. In contrast to light scattering the classical scattering techniques like X-ray scattering operating with a radiation, whose-wavelength is of the same order of magnitude as the average distance of the scatterers, are commonly used to probe basically the ordered structure of a regular lattice, disorder being manifested only as a secondary feature of the reflexes observed in the experiment.
