Abstract

Experiments on millimeter wave radiation influence upon the vibrational spectra parameters of β-alanine single crystal are presented in the work. Millimeter wave irradiation frequency was tuned in the range 37,5–53,5 GHz. The band structure together with the strong intensity redistribution were found. Resonance character of millimeter wave effect on the β-alanine vibrational spectra is detected. The probable mechanisms of this effect is discussed.
