Modelling the far wings of collision-induced translational spectral profiles
Keyword(s):
By comparing three model spectral profiles to precise line shapes obtained from quantum calculations, we assess the suitability of the various models for describing the far wings of translational collision-induced spectra. A profile obtained based on a generalized Langevin approach can give a better fit to the quantum shape than the widely used BirnbaumCohen model; the fit given by the six-parameter extended BirnbaumCohen profile proves to be the best of all three functions.
