Abstract
Vibrational transitions in liquids and solids may be broadened by many different physical processes. The diverse contributions to a given band cannot always be unambiguously separated in conventional spectroscopy, especially if the band is perturbed by neighbouring overlapping lines such as vibrational overtones and hot bands, and it is often particularly difficult to determine if the band contour is Gaussian, Lorentzian or of intermediate shape.
