Abstract:
N(2)- and O(2)-broadened linewidths of the J = 34(2,32) <-- 34(1,33) transition of ozone located at 500.4 GHz have been measured at three temperatures in the 247-295 K range by using a video-type spectrometer. Besides the Voigt profile commonly used as theoretical model for millimeter-wave investigations, different other theoretical lineshapes, the speed-dependent Voigt profile, the Galatry profile, and the speed-dependent Galatry profile, have been considered to analyze the experimental spectra, to retrieve the pressure-broadening parameters, and to give an account of the pointed out line-narrowing effect. The results for O(3) perturbed by N(2) and O(2) are finally compared to calculations based on the complex semiclassical theory of Robert and Bonamy, and with previous reported values involving the same kind of transitions. Finally, it is shown that observed line narrowings result nearly exclusively from the dependence of relaxation on molecular speeds. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

IR Frequency Region: Alkyne and Nitrile Stretching
Comparing the stretching vibrational frequency of C≡C triple bonds with that of double and single bonds, it is evident that C≡C triple bonds exhibit a higher stretching frequency than C=C double and C–C single bonds. Similarly, the C≡N triple bond exhibits higher stretching absorption than the C=N...
Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
