چکیده

Orientational effects in rotationally elastic collisions of OH with Ar were studied in a crossed molecular beam setup. A static electric field was applied to orient the molecules before the collision. After the collision the orientation was measured by using a narrow-band laser system to probe the Stark-split states corresponding to different orientations. Differential and integral cross sections for reorientation of the molecular axis have been determined as a function of the initial orientation. The cross section for reorientation by one quantum is 25 A2 with a preference for O-end collisions.

Measurement of collision-induced shift and broadening of the ultraviolet transitions of OH

Using a cw tunable laser, absorption measurements were made to determine for the first time the shift and broadening of the ultraviolet transitions of OH induced by collisions with molecular nitrogen and oxygen. Similar measurements were also made for collisions with air and inert gases He, Ne, Ar, and Kr. Both the shift and broadening due to these collisions were found to depend linearly upon ...

Steric effects in state-to-state scattering of OH (2pi(3/2),J=3/2,f) by HCl.

In this paper we address stereo-dynamical issues in the inelastic encounters between OH (chi2pi) radicals and HCl (chi1sigma+). The experiments were performed in a crossed molecular-beam machine at the nominal collision energy of 920 cm(-1). Prior to the collisions, the OH molecules were selected using a hexapole in a well-defined rotational state v=0, omega=32, J=32, M(J)=32, f, and subsequent...

Ultrafast reorientation of dangling OH groups at the air-water interface using femtosecond vibrational spectroscopy.

We report the real-time measurement of the ultrafast reorientational motion of water molecules at the water-air interface, using femtosecond time- and polarization-resolved vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy. Vibrational excitation of dangling OH bonds along a specific polarization axis induces a transient anisotropy that decays due to the reorientation of vibrationally excited OH groups. T...

Statics and dynamics of free and hydrogen-bonded OH groups at the air/water interface.

We use classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of two water models (SPC/E and TIP4P/2005) to investigate the orientation and reorientation dynamics of two subpopulations of OH groups belonging to water molecules at the air/water interface at 300 K: those OH groups that donate a hydrogen bond (called "bonded") and those that do not (called "free"). Free interfacial OH groups reorient ...

Coherent infrared multidimensional spectra of the OH stretching band in liquid water simulated by direct nonlinear exciton propagation.

The two-dimensional vibrational response of the disordered strongly fluctuating OH exciton band in liquid water is investigated using a new simulation protocol. The direct nonlinear exciton propagation generalizes the nonlinear exciton equations to include nonadiabatic time dependent Hamiltonian and transition dipole fluctuations. The excitonic picture is retained and the large cancellation bet...
