All but CF2HCl show collisionless changes in the intensity of the spontaneous Raman signals after excitation, indicating that the excitation alters the population in the Raman active modes. A comparison of the spectrally integrated intensities of the Raman signals yields information on the distribution of vibrational energy over the modes of the molecule. The results for CF2Cl2 show a nonthermal distribution of energy after the excitation.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.49.16403}, url = {/files/mazur/files/rep_74.pdf}, author = {Wang, J. and K.
