AN ISOTOPE EFFECT ON 6P(1/2)-6P(3/2) MIXING IN CESIUM, INDUCED IN COLLISIONS WITH CH4 AND CD4

Abstract

The 6P(1/2) = 6P(3/2) singlet excitation transfer in cesium, induced in collisions with CH4 and CD4 molecules, has been studied in relation to the temperature of the vapor-gas mixtures. The variation with temperature of the cross section ratio Q(CH4)/Q(CD4) is ascribed to an isotope effect which is interpreted on the basis of the theory of absolute reaction rates.
