This thesis comprises a compendium of forty-two publications on
various research topics unified by a common theme s light scattering
spectroscopy. The research work presented ranges from experimental
studies of the dynamics of atoms in various phases of matter through
to theoretical investigations of the light scattering process. The
topics discussed are the dynamics of structural phase transitions in
proper and improper ferroelectrics, and in antiferroelectrics, for
both ordered and disordered systems; the magnetic phase transitions
in ordered and disordered compounds; the electronic properties of
divalent transition metal ions in pure and dilute systems; the
lattice vibrations of ionic, covalent and molecular crystals; the
selection rules governing higher-order light scattering processes;
the weak interactions occurring between chemical species in both
aqueous and non-aqueous solvents; and the use of automation
techniques in light scattering spectroscopy.
