Line coupling induced by collisions leads to drastic modifications of the spectral profile of the 0003–0000 of CO2 pressurized by helium. Calculation of these modifications have been performed by using two recent energy corrected sudden (ECS) formalisms. The two formulations lead to theoretical predictions rather similar and in good agreement with the available data over extended ranges of frequency and perturber pressure. It has been shown that a simultaneous fit of the pressure broadened linewidths and the near wing profile allows a more accurate determination of the basic ECS parameters. For that purpose, it has been necessary to extend the measurement of the broadened widths to high J values (up to J≊90).
The purpose of The Journal of Chemical Physics is to bridge a gap between journals of physics and journals of chemistry by publishing quantitative research based on physical principles and techniques, as applied to "chemical" systems. Just as the fields of chemistry and physics have expanded, so have chemical physics subject areas, which include polymers, materials, surfaces/interfaces, and biological macromolecules, along with the traditional small molecule and condensed phase systems. The Journal of Chemical Physics (JCP) is published four times per month (48 issues per year) by the American Institute of Physics.
The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit membership corporation created for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. It is the mission of the Institute to serve the sciences of physics and astronomy by serving its member societies, by serving individual scientists, and by serving students and the general public.
As a "society of societies," AIP supports ten Member Societies and provides a spectrum of services and programs devoted to advancing the science and profession of physics. A pioneer in digital publishing, AIP is also one of the world's largest publishers of physics journals and produces the publications of more than 25 scientific and engineering societies through its New York-based publishing division.
