Resonant and Near-resonant Intermolecular Vibrational Energy Transfer between CO Isotopomers

초록

Rate constants for intermolecular vibrational energy transfer between the isotopomers of carbon monoxide have been calculated theoretically by use of the semiclassical method. In the theory, the translational and rotational motion are treated classical mechanically, while the vibrational motion is treated quantum mechanically. The dependence of the rate constants upon the temperature and energy mismatch are investigated. The results are compared with those of experiment and other theoretical calculation.
