Order Of Magnitude

The temperature dependence of cross sections for 72P1/2 ↔ 72P3/2 excitation transfer in cesium, as well as the effective quenching of these states, induced in collisions with H2, N2, CH4, and CD4 molecules have been investigated in a series of sensitized fluorescence experiments over a temperature range 390–640 K. The 72P mixing cross sections are of the order of 10−15 cm2 and exceed by at least one order of magnitude similar cross sections for mixing by collisions with Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. The large sizes of the mixing cross sections and their variation with temperature are ascribed to a phenomenon of electronic-to-rotational energy transfer.

The Cross

The dependence on temperature of the cross sections for 2P1/2 ↔ 2P3/2 mixing in cesium, induced in collisions with various deuterated hydrogen, ethane and propane molecules, has been studied in the range 290–650 K. In the cases of hydrogen and ethane, the behavior of the cross sections was found to depend on the degree of deuteration of the molecules. The very large sizes of the mixing cross sections and the isotope effect observed in their variation with temperature, are ascribed to the phenomenon of electronic to rotational energy transfer.

The (v’ = 34, J’ = 14) level of the A1Σ+u electronic state of Na2 has been selectively populated by excitation with the 578.1 nm line of a ring dye-laser with rhodamine 6G. Through collisions with (2S1/2) Na atoms, energy is transferred to neighbouring rotational levels in Na2, and the density of these levels is determined by observing the fluorescence to the electronic ground state. From previous measurements of the lifetime of the A1Σ+u state and new measurements of the intensities of collision-induced spectral lines, absolute collision cross-sections for all rotational transitions up to ΔJ = ±6 have been obtained; the total cross-section for all rotational transitions observed is: rotσtotal = 0.41 nm2.

Quasiclassical Trajectories

We have computed rotational energy transfer differential and state-to-state integral quasiclassical cross sections for the He - N2 system at 27.3 meV. By comparing these differential cross sections to close coupling ones, the accuracy of the quasiclassical approximation at such a low collision energy has been assessed as satisfactory.
