Theory of vibrational energy transfer between simple molecules in nonreactive collisions (original) (raw)

This equation is based on the assumption that variations in Q(t) during the collision are small compared to L. It also implies that the energy transferred to the oscillator is small compared to the incident energy since the latter quantity is assumed independent of the excitation in the oscillator. If this equation is substituted into the second of eq 21, the result is p i +f(Qgo) =-(yA"/L) sech2 (uot/2L) (24) Equation 24 may be solved subject to the initial condition lim [g(t)go] = Bi sin (w t + Si) (25) *
