Laser Studies of Molecular Collision Processes.

Abstract

The purpose of this research has been to determine the effect of selective electronic and vibrational excitation on energy transfer and reaction rates in simple molecular systems. A wide variety of behavior is exhibited in the competition between reaction and energy transfer for simple molecular systems. The principal results can be grouped into 3 categories. (1) Relaxation of highly vibrationally excited species; (2) Vibrational Relaxation in Polyatomic Systems; (3) Vibrational Relaxation in Condensed Media.
