Physical chemistry literature distinguishes resonance Raman scattering from fluorescence based on distinct scattering mechanisms and excitation/decay timescales.
The claim addresses the fundamental distinctions between resonance Raman scattering and fluorescence, specifically regarding their timescales (lifetimes) and scattering mechanisms. Retrieved papers such as [2], [5], and [7] provide quantum mechanical and theoretical treatments confirming these differences in temporal decay and cross-sectional mechanisms. No papers refute the claim.
