ABSTRACT

Ma and Tipping 1994

Ma, Q., and R.H. Tipping, 1994: An improved quasistatic line-shape theory: The effects of molecular motion on the line wings. J. Chem. Phys., 100, 5567-5579, doi:10.1063/1.467124.

A theory is presented for the modification of the line-shape functions and absorption coefficient due to the breakdown of the quasistatic approximation. This breakdown arises from the effcts of molecular motion and increases the absorption in the near wings. Numerical calculations for the high-frequency wing of the nu3 band of CO2 broadened by Ar are reported and it is shown that these effects are significant near the bandhead. The importance of such corrections in other spectral regions and for other systems is discussed briefly.
