COMPILATION OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL ATOM DIATOM TRANSLATIONAL-VIBRATIONAL TRANSITION PROBABILITIES,

Abstract

In recent years a great many calculations on vibrational energy transfer have appeared in the literature. Since most of the calculations have been done for a one-dimensional atom-diatom exponential interaction, a large amount of data has accumulated that is easy to categorize. The present compilation, therefore, is limited to these calculations. Specifically, included are only those results that refer to the system A---B - C with an exponential interaction between A and B and a harmonic interaction between B and C. This problem can be completely specified with the incident relative energy of A and B - C, a potential parameter, and a single mass parameter defined in the text. Collisional transition probabilities are tabulated as a function of these three parameters and the oscillator quantum numbers. (Author)
