ABSTRACT

Ni et al. 1994

Ni, C.-K., G.W. Flynn, and S. Green, 1994: Experimental and theoretical velocity profiles for pure rotational scattering: CO-hot hydrogen atom collisions. J. Chem. Phys., 101, 9499-9505, doi:10.1063/1.467980.

Time dependent diode laser spectroscopy was used to measure Doppler profiles of P-branch lines in the fundamental vibrational band of CO shortly after collisions with H atoms having a translational energy of 2.3 eV. Observed spectral line profiles refelect two Doppler components, a negative room temperature component from molecules out of a given v=0,J state, and a hot component from molecules scattered into the same state. Observed profiles are explained qualitatively using state-to-state differential cross sections calculated from the ab initio potential energy surface of Bowman, Bittman and Harding and a rigid rotor coupled states quantum scattering approximation.
