Study of Vibrational Energy Transfer at a Liquid Tin Surface.
Abstract
Single collision vibrational energy transfer for a canonical ensemble (T=300K) of cyclobutene molecules at a liquid tin surface was studied at temperatures from 500K to 775K. Transport above the reaction threshold for isomerization to butadiene was used as the criterion for efficiency of vibrational energy accommodation. The surface was found to function as a strong collider below 550 K. Experiments both above and below the freezing point revealed no discontinuity in the vibrational accommodation efficiency.
