inelastic light scattering process
C18923
concept
An inelastic light scattering process is an interaction in which incident photons exchange energy with a material’s excitations (such as phonons or magnons), resulting in scattered photons with shifted frequencies that reveal information about the material’s internal structure and dynamics.
