摘要: Abstract Absorption, fluorescence emission, reflectance, resonance Raman, and Raman excitation spectra were recorded of single crystals all-trans β-carotene. The 0—0 band the S 0 →S 2 allowed electronic transition is found at 18700±50 cm −1 . emission consists two components, major originating out state show bands in pre-resonance region below absorption edge crystal. They may be interpreted as transitions to optically forbidden 1 A g (S ).
