THERMAL RELAXATION IN FLUORINE

Abstract

Sound absorption and velocity measurements in fluorine at 228 C and 102 C indicate vibrational relaxation times of 20.7 and 10.7 microsec for these two temperatures respectively. The measurements were made inside a glass tube 1.73 cm in diameter using progressive waves. These results when combined with earlier results in the other halogens indicate certain changes which improve the accuracy of the Slawsky, Schwartz, and Herzfeld theory. (Author)
