52P1/2 ↔ 52P3/2 excitation transfer in rubidium induced in collisions with CH4, CH2D2, and CD4 molecules
Keyword(s):
The temperature dependence of cross sections for 52P1/2 ↔ 52P3/2 excitation transfer in rubidium, induced in collisions with CH4, CH2D2, and CD4 molecules, has been investigated using methods of sensitized fluorescence over a temperature range 300–650 K. The cross sections, which are of the order of 30 Å2 and which exceed similar cross sections for collisions with noble gas atoms by at least two orders of magnitude, exhibit an isotope effect which is ascribed to the phenomenon of electronic-to-rotational energy transfer.
