Abstract
We report the terahertzpulse spectra of L-glutamic acid. Thereare a number of well-resolved transitionsin the 1.75–2.5 THz (58–83 cm-1)region. These are compared with publishedtheoretical data on intra andintermolecular transitions. We could notfind any correlation with the theoreticalvalues. However, it was noted that thetheoretical model did not include anycrystalline or hydrogen-bonding effects.
