The Energy Corrected Sudden approach is used in order to deduce collisional parameters and to model infrared quantities in Sigma->Sigma bands of CO2-He and CO2-Ar mixtures at room temperature. Measurements are first used for the determination (from a fit) of the rotational angular momentum relaxation time and of some parameters representative of the imaginary part of the relaxation operator. It is shown that line-broadening data as well as absorption in both the wing and central part of the v3 and 3v3 bands lead to consistent determinations. The model is then used for detailed analysis of line-mixing effects. The influences of pressure, of the band spectral structure, and of the collision partner are studied. Differences between the effects of collisions with He and Ar are pointed out and explained.
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.
