Temperature-dependent relaxation of CO(v=1) by HD, D/sub 2/, and He and of D/sub 2/(v=1) by D/sub 2/
Abstract
Rate constants for the vibrational deactivation of CO in collisions with HD, D/sub 2/, and He have been measured as a function of temperature using the laser excited vibrational fluorescence technique. Throughout the 109--630 degreeK range, CO--He and CO--HD samples exhibit a single exponential decay, dominated by V--T,R transfer, with rates increasing rapidly with temperature. Typical collision deactivation rate constants at 630 degreeK are 22.7 sec/sup -1/ torr/sup -1/ for He and 82.5 sec/sup -1/ torr/sup -1/ for HD, and, at 109 degreeK, 0.067 sec/sup -1/ torr/sup -1/ for He and 0.27 sec/sup -1/ torr/sup -1/ for HD. At low temperatures, diffusion and radiative decay become important contributions to the observed rates. In CO--D/sub 2/ mixtures, double exponential decay of CO fluorescence at large D/sub 2/ mole fractions is obtained, corresponding to rapid V--V transfer between the (v=1) vibrational levels of CO and D/sub 2/, followed by coupled V--T,R deactivation. The V--V transfer rate (..delta..E=-850 cm/sup -1/) increases from 0.26 sec/sup -1/ torr/sup -1/ at 202 degreeK to 69.4 sec/sup -1/ torr/sup -1/ at 633 degreeK. The V--T,R deactivation rate constant for excited CO by D/sub 2/ is significantly slower than that by HD and H/sub 2/, going from 0.089more »
