Vibrational Distribution Functions in Anharmonic Oscillators
نویسنده
چکیده
A model has been developed to calculate the steady state vibrational distribution of an anharmonic oscillator under conditions of thermal nonequilibrium. The model includes vibration-vibration and vibrationtranslation collisional processes as well as radiative decay. Numerical calculations are shown to be in reasonably good agreement with experimental data obtained in electrically excited N^-CO mixing systems. It is shown that radiative decay may be the dominant loss mechanism in low pressure N^-CO experiments.

Normal heat conductivity in a periodic chain of anharmonic oscillators
We consider a periodic chain of coupled and pinned anharmonic oscillators subject to a nonequilibrium random forcing. Assuming that the six-point correlation functions of the stationary state factorize in terms of the two-point correlation functions, we show that the heat current going through the system is consistent with Fourier law and that the conductivity behaves as κ ∼ 1 λ2T2 where λ is t...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 6 Vibrational and stochastic resonances in two coupled overdamped anharmonic oscillators
We study the overdamped version of two coupled anharmonic oscillators under the influence of both lowand high-frequency forces respectively and a Gaussian noise term added to one of the two state variables of the system. The dynamics of the system is first studied in the presence of both forces separately without noise. In the presence of only one of the forces, no resonance behaviour is observ...
متن کاملCoupled Q-oscillators as a model for vibrations of polyatomic molecules
The system of two Q-deformed oscillators coupled so that the total Hamiltonian has the suQ(2) symmetry is proved to be equivalent, to lowest order approximation, to a system of two identical Morse oscillators coupled by the cross-anharmonicity usually used empirically in describing vibrational spectra of triatomic molecules. The symmetry also imposes a connection between the self-anharmonicity ...

It is proved that quasi-exactly soluble potentials (QESPs) corresponding to an oscillator with harmonic, quartic and sextic terms, for which the n+ 1 lowest levels of a given parity can be determined exactly, may be approximated by WKB equivalent potentials corresponding to deformed anharmonic oscillators of SUq(1,1) symmetry, which have been used for the description of vibrational spectra of d...
متن کاملFranck-Condon factors based on anharmonic vibrational wave functions of polyatomic molecules.
Franck-Condon (FC) integrals of polyatomic molecules are computed on the basis of vibrational self-consistent-field (VSCF) or configuration-interaction (VCI) calculations capable of including vibrational anharmonicity to any desired extent (within certain molecular size limits). The anharmonic vibrational wave functions of the initial and final states are expanded unambiguously by harmonic osci...
