The collision-induced absorption (CIA) spectrum for nitrogen has been measured in the spectral region below 360 cm−1 at 126, 149, 179, and 212 K. The measurements have been obtained using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques, a far infrared (FIR) laser system operating at 84.2 and 15.1 cm−1, and microwave cavity techniques. The experimental line shapes have been compared with the theoretical predictions of Joslin, based on Mori theory, and of Joslin and Gray, based on information theory alone. The data have been used to determine the quadrupole moment employing various intermolecular potentials. One Lennard–Jones potential has resulted in a quadrupole moment of 1.51 B, the value that was used in generating the theoretical line shapes. These results, when combined with our forthcoming measurements on nitrogen mixed with methane and argon, may be helpful in determining the role of CIA in calculating the opacity of some planetary atmospheres.

This paper deals with computations of the far-infrared collision-induced absorptions for polar linear molecules. We have considered Frost's theory for dipole- and quadrupole-induced dipole absorptions in bimolecular collisions, taking the anisotropy of the molecular polarizability into account. In addition to the induced rotational interaction, a translational effect may not be negligible. Detailed expressions for different contributions to the integrated intensities are reported for N2O. Using these calculated expressions and the moderately low pressure data, we have deduced a value for the quadrupole moment of N2O, [Formula: see text].

Order Dependence

Collision induced microwave absorption is reported in pure N2, N2–Ar, N2–CH4, mixtures, and in pure CH4 in the 35 and 70 GHz regions (1.1 and 2.3 cm−1) at a temperature of 22 °C. The measurements are accomplished using overmoded high Q cavities capable of pressurization of up to 5000 p.s.i.g. The apparatus and method are described. With the high sensitivity attained, the results in pure N2 from 30 → 250 amagat reveal terms in the square and cube of the density from which the relaxation times are calculated. The linear dependence on frequency of the collision induced absorption up to 2.3 cm−1 is established. Higher order dependence on the density is observed in the N2–Ar and N2–CH4 mixtures. Various estimates of the quadrupole moment of N2 are given, making use of earlier results in other frequency regions.

Line Widths

From the analysis of the available experimental results, a vibrational dependence of N2O line widths is shown, which can be explained, applying the Anderson–Tsao–Curnutte theory. But no dependence on ν of any of the molecular parameters can be deduced. In the last part, we have pointed out the effect on the determination of the quadrupole moment of assuming a nonvanishing octupole moment for N2O.
