Raman effect
(redirected from Raman scattering)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Raman effect
n. Physics
The alteration in frequency and random alteration in phase of light passing through a transparent medium.
[After Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman.]
Raman effect [ˈrɑːmən]
n
(Physics / General Physics) a change in wavelength of light that is scattered by electrons within a material. The effect is used in Raman spectroscopy for studying molecules
[named after Sir Chandrasekhara Raman (1888-1970), Indian physicist]
Raman effect
The alteration of the frequency and the phase of light as it passes through a transparent medium. The Raman effect is caused by small differences between the energy of photons absorbed by the molecules that make up the medium and the energy of photons re-emitted.

The nanowires target specific fingerprint components--such as eccrine, a watery substance that comes out of the pads of human fingers and is not well detected using current forensic methods--that give off Raman scattering emissions.
