High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy of Atmospheric Species. (The Pressure Broadening of HDO by O2, N2, H2, and He Between 100 and 600 Deg K).


Book Description

Laboratory-based pressure-broadening data has long provided information that is both of practical importance for technological applications and of fundamental interest for understanding molecular interactions and dynamics. During this project period the temperature dependence of the collision-broadened line widths of H20 and HDO were studied between 100 deg K and 600 deg K. Selected transitions were between 250 GHz and 500 GHz and the broadening gases were 02, N2, H2, and He. Low temperature measurements were made in a collisionally cooled cell to circumvent the limitations imposed by the low vapor pressure of the sample gas at temperatures far below their freezing points. The experimentally determined values were compared with earlier experimental and theoretical works.

High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy of Atmospheric Species


Book Description

The pressure-broadening of the 2 (1,1) - 2 (1 2), 3 (1,3) - 2 (2,1), and 7 (3,4) - 6 (4,3) transitions of HDO were studied between 90K and 600K. The broadening gases were He, H2, 02, and N2. Results for the temperature dependence of the pressure broadening parameters and collisional cross sections are discussed. The HDO transitions selected for study belong to widely different lower state energies. Such a selection allows to observe any dependence that 300K broadening parameters and temperature coefficients-may have on the rotational quantum numbers. All these have considerable theoretical interest.
