Title: Raman Spectra of Solid CO$_2$, N$_2$O, N$_2$, and CO
Abstract: The Raman spectra of solid CO$_2$, N$_2$O, N$_2$, and CO have been observed. Each spectrum can be analyzed by assuming an approximately ordered structure isomorphous with that of CO$_2$. The lattice mode intensities have been calculated on the basis of the oriented gas model; they are in good agreement with the measured values and lead to confident assignments of the observed bands. The frequencies of the E$_g$ and two T$_g$ librations are 73.5, 91.5, and 132 cm$^-1$, respectively, for CO$_2$(15\textdegreeK) and 68, 82, and 124$_.5$ cm$^-1$, respectively, for N$_2$O (15\textdegreeK). In \ensuremathα-N$_2$ at 16\textdegreeK two sharp bands are observed at 33.5 cm$^-1$ (E$_g$) and 37.5 cm$^-1$ (T$_g$). The other T$_g$ mode may coincide with the E$_g$. Only one broad, asymmetric lattice band is observed for \ensuremathα-CO, which is located at 47.5 cm$^-1$ at 12\textdegreeK. The peak frequencies of these bands decrease an average of \ensuremath\sim 15% on warming from 15\textdegreeK to the phase transition, and there is a considerable concommitant increase in their widths.
