Gas-Surface Vibrational Energy Transfer in the Transient Region of a Low Pressure Unimolecular Reaction.

Abstract

The Variable Encounter Method was applied to the study of the transient region in vibrational accommodation of reacting cyclopropane at surfaces. Collision efficiency declines with rise of temperature. Surface collisions are more efficient than binary gas phase encounters but declines with rise of temperature. The results agree with an independent earlier study we have made on cyclopropane-d2. (Author)
