44. -1. This was indispensable for the increased background of the liquid S spectra at the low wavenumber side of the polymer peak. Inspecting the low temperature Raman spectrum of g-S at 93 K it becomes obvious that more than one peaks are hidden below the profile of the Raman band. The obvious fine structure is now evident due to the Raman peaks narrowing at this low temperature, whilst thermal effects at high temperature contribute to bands broadening, thus obscuring the existence of the various contributions.
