Relaxation of Vibrational Energy in CO, HCl, CO(2), and N(2)O.
Relaxation measurements on CO and HCl excited into the first vibrational state and on CO(2) and N(2)O excited into the (00 degrees 1) vibrational state have been performed by using a fluorescence method. The rate constants associated with the de-excitation by molecular collisions have been determined at room temperature. The diffusion and accommodation coefficients have been deduced from measurements at low gas pressures, taking into account the self-absorption of the fluorescence radiation.
