Rotational Energy Transfer in Highly Vibrationally Excited Hydrogen Fluoride and Deuterium Fluoride.

Abstract

Overtone vibration-laser double resonance measurements have provided new data on vibrational and rotational relaxation in HF(v = 2). These experiments determine the magnitudes of the total vibrational relaxation rate constants for HF(v = 1 and 2) as well as their temperature dependences. Rotational relaxation data come from these measurements as well. The temporal evolution of individual rotational states observed in the double resonance studies provides level-to-level energy transfer rate constants when analyzed using an iterative fitting scheme which incorporates scaling relations among the rate constants.
