Abstract
In the two decades since electron pulse radiolysis was first developed several diagnostic techniques have been employed to detect and characterise the various species which are formed during the energy absorption stage. By far the commonest technique has been optical spectrophotometry (both emission and absorption) and the spectral and dynamic features of many radiation-induced reactions have been followed in this way. However, the characteristics of high sensitivity and amenability to high time resolution which have made kinetic spectrophotometry so attractive are also shown by other physical methods such as electrical conductivity, polarography, electron spin resonance and light scattering. The spectrophotometry, conductimetric, polarographic and magnetic resonance techniques are considered in detail elsewhere in this volume (1–4); here the use of light scattering spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool for pulse radiolysis studies is examined. Elastic (Rayleigh) and inelastic (Raman) scattering methods have been employed, leading to different kinds of information; both techniques are described.
