Abstract

It has been shown that the effect of Raman scattering is the result of a transition between one of the stationary levels and a virtual level. The appearance of the latter is due to the action of an external field in the molecule–field system. The concept of a function corresponding to the virtual state has been introduced. The transition probability is defined by the matrix element, which has the meaning of the mathematical expectation of the dipole moment operator with the functions of the ground and virtual states. An expression has been found for the dipole moment of an object consisting of N nuclei and one electron. The calculation algorithm is described.
