A Crucial Demonstration of Strong Collision Behavior of Vibrational Energy for Gas-Surface Collisions.

Abstract

The Variable Encounter Method was applied to the study of the transient region in vibrational accommodation of reacting cyclobutene at surfaces. Collision efficiency declines with rise of temperature. Surface collisions are more efficient than binary gas phase encounters and, at temperatures below 450K, the wall behaves like a theoretical strong collider. (Author)
