Simulation of the collision-induced absorption spectrum of gaseous rare gas mixtures including ternary contributions

The observed far-infrared collision-induced absorption of helium–argon mixtures is used to determine the parameters in an induced-dipole moment function of the form[Formula: see text]It is shown that, with this form of μ(r), the values of the constants μo, ρ, and c7 that are necessary to fit the first two moments of the observed absorption contour are in disagreement with the available theoretical values of these constants. Possible explanations for this disagreement are discussed in the paper. Finally, it is shown that if μ(r) were known, it is possible to obtain an excellent representation of the entire absorption spectrum from a knowledge of only the first three moments, which are easily calculated equilibrium quantities.

A study is being made of the far infrared absorption occurring in compressed rare-gas mixtures, and compressed homonuclear diatomic gases. The region investigated lies between 20 and 400 cm−1. The spectra are obtained from the Fourier analysis of interferograms produced by a dynamic Michelson interferometer. It is possible to obtain accurate absolute absorption coefficients for broad bands using this method provided care is exercised in the analysis of the interferograms. The necessary precautions are discussed in detail. The precision of the method obtained in practice is demonstrated using the far infrared bands of hydrogen and nitrogen as examples. Only the experimental techniques are discussed in this paper; the detailed results follow in a separate paper.

The Absolute

The collision-induced spectra of mixtures of ethane and each of the rare gases He, Ar, Kr, and Xe in the 40–360 cm−1 region have been obtained using a Michelson Fourier transform spectrometer. In addition, the temperature dependence of the absorption in ethane and ethane–xenon mixtures is reported. All results have been analyzed according to the theory for quadrupole induced rotation–translation absorption. The absolute value of the quadrupole moment of ethane is estimated to be less than 1.0 B and most likely less than 0.5 B. Various speculations are made concerning the induction mechanisms (other than quadrupolar) for each of the mixtures.

Zero Frequency

The induced spectra of compressed helium–argon and neon–argon mixtures, and of compressed hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen have been measured in the frequency region 20 to 400 cm−1. The far-infrared spectra consist of a translational branch and a rotational branch which overlap, except in the rare-gas mixtures where only the translational component exists. The latter is a broad band which extends from zero frequency to about 500 cm−1, with a maximum near 150 cm−1 in the room-temperature gas. In the case of hydrogen the translational branch is readily distinguished from the rotational branch because it lies at a lower frequency than the latter. In the case of oxygen and nitrogen the spacing between the rotational lines is small and the translational and rotational branches overlap completely.
