Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Molecular Dynamics
Abstract
During the period to which this report refers, significant progress was made in both experimental and theoretical studies of intramolecular and intermolecular dynamics. A more detailed description of the work accomplished will be found in the abstracts of the papers listed. The highlights of our work include. Completion of combined experimental and theoretical studies of very low energy collision induced vibrational relaxation; Further development of the relationship between large amplitude motion and the onset of chaos; and Definitive testing and verification of the interpretation of nonexponential time evolution of an excited state of a molecule with intermediate case level structure, including a demonstration of the role of rotational states in defining the rate of the radiationless process. In addition, useful results were obtained in our studies of radiationless processes and of room temperature collision induced vibrational relaxation of electronically excited polyatomic molecules.
