Rotational temperature, characteristic

Thus, the primary ESR spectra decayed irreversibly at temperatures characteristic for the substrate, typically near 100 K they were replaced by a second type of spectrum, in which the protons at one cyclopropane center no longer interact with the electron spin. This coupling pattern was interpreted as evidence for a ring-opened trimethylene species (109) in which one terminal carbon has rotated into an orthogonal orientation [293, 296, 297],... 

The more exoergic reaction Ba + NzO has a smaller reaction cross section ( 90 A2 or 27 A2) [347, 351] and crossed-molecular beams studies [349] show that the BaO product is backward-scattered with a large amount of internal excitation ((Fr) < 0.20). Laser-fluorescence measurements [348] of the BaO(X Z+) product for the reaction in the presence of an argon buffer gas, find population of vibrational states up to v = 32. The relative populations have a characteristic temperature of 600 K for v = 0—4 and 3600 K for v = 5—32 with evidence of non-thermal population of v — 13—16. This study also observes population of A n and a 3II states of BaO with v = 0—4. A molecular beam study of Ba + N20 with laser-induced fluorescence detection indicates that the BaO( X) product is formed with a very high rotational temperature. 

The characteristic rotational temperatures 0rot for H2, HD, and D2 are 84.8, 63.8, and 42.6°K, respectively. The symmetry of H2 and D2 require that for optical transitions, AJ = 2, while for HD, AJ = 1. At room temperature, normal hydrogen -H2 is composed of 25% para-H2 (,J even) and 75% ortho-H2 (J odd), while at lower temperatures, equilibrium hydrogen contains an increasing proportion of para-H2. These rotational species do not change form in gaseous collisions, so that it is possible to select nearly pure p-H2 (e.g., boil-off from liquid H2) and perform measurements on it and its mixtures with n-H2 over a range of temperatures, before surface catalysis...

The beam intensities of oriented molecules using hexapole electric field, however, turn out to be poor because the state selection requires a very large flight-length as compared with conventional molecular beam set-ups. In order to increase the beam intensity, one may propose a way to increase the stagnation pressure of the nozzle. However, the characteristics of the molecnlar beam snch as stream velocity, rotational temperature and the size distribntion of clnsters are generally changed [41]. Motivation of the study of Ref [2] has been to develop a new type of electrostatic state-selector in order to prodnce an intense oriented molecnlar beam. Basic idea of this experiment has been that the beam intensity shonld be simply proportional to the nnmber of beam lines if the molecnlar beams can be focnsed on a point in space. 

But other evidence has shown that, above certain critical temperatures characteristic for each compound, the molecules in these solids are rotating rapidly end for end. Time-average interaction of their permanent dipole moments can be no larger than the correlation of these rotations permits. As the temperature increases, that correlation decreases it is negligible at their vapourization temperatures. Their heats of vapourization depend on the energies due to dispersion forces, which have the proper sequence to explain the observations on these materials. 

Equation (28-71) indicates that the rotational motion of diatomic molecules yields rotation,classical = T/B, where B is a characteristic rotational temperature that is, at most, a few tens of Kelvin (see Table 28-2). The rotational contribution to the internal energy is... 

For polyatomic molecules, there are several normal modes of vibration that must be considered, as well as the bond angle that determines whether triatomics are linear or bent. The information in Table 28-3 for seven triatomics and one polyatomic was obtained from the same sources as Table 28-2 for diatomics, as well as Reed and Gubbins (1973, p. 74). Degenerate vibrational energy levels are indicated in parentheses and, in some cases, the characteristic rotational temperature is included under the molecular formula. 

The characteristic rotational temperature, the rotational quantum Trot = h STt kl (1 is the moment of inertia) of some diatomic molecules [55] is, H2 85 K, O2 2.1 K, NO 2.4 K, CI2 0.4 K. As a consequence, the rotation of the diatomic molecules is classical at ambient conditions and each rotational degree of freedom has the energy 1/2 kT at equilibrium. That immediately yields an estimate of the rotational correlation time t,o, in the absence of an external field [58] ... 

Next in section 3, we introduced analysis of the IPS spectrum. Although the procedure to analyze IPS bands becomes far more comphcated than 2PS bands, the basic strategy is the same as that of 2PS. We also demonstrated the resultant rotational temperature of IPS is almost the same with that of 2PS for our microwave discharge nitrogen plasma. We should further examine its characteristics of vibrational non-equilibrium.

We obtain a rotational heat capacity that varies with temperature as shown in the curve in Figure 7.12(a). For temperatiues greater than the characteristic rotational temperature we find a contribution of ker. 

D rot and yib are the contributions of rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom, respectively, to the molar heat capacity at constant volume. The rotational contribution to the heat capacity can be considered classical, because T 0rot. where drot is the characteristic rotational temperature, and the dimer is assumed to be a rigid rotor - a hypothesis commensurate with the use of the Eucken approximation. Hence,...

In the dense interstellar medium characteristic of sites of star fonuation, for example, scattering of visible/UV light by sub-micron-sized dust grains makes molecular clouds optically opaque and lowers their internal temperature to only a few tens of Kelvin. The thenual radiation from such objects therefore peaks in the FIR and only becomes optically thin at even longer wavelengths. Rotational motions of small molecules and rovibrational transitions of larger species and clusters thus provide, in many cases, the only or the most powerfiil probes of the dense, cold gas and dust of the interstellar medium. 

The intensity distribution among the rotational transitions is governed by the population distribution among the rotational levels of the initial electronic or vibronic state of the transition. For absorption, the relative populations at a temperature T are given by the Boltzmann distribution law (Equation 5.15) and intensities show a characteristic rise and fall, along each branch, as J increases.
