Nitrogen broadening of SF6 transitions in the nu3 band

2001

Abstract Nitrogen induced pressure-broadened halfwidths of a number of ν3 transitions of SF6 are calculated using the complex Robert–Bonamy (CRB) formalism. The calculations are made at 200, 250, 296 and 350 K and the temperature dependence of the halfwidths are determined. The intermolecular potential is taken as a sum of the leading electrostatic and Lennard-Jones [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] atom–atom components. The dynamics of the collision process are correct to second order in time. The calculated halfwidths are used to simulate the ν3 spectrum, which is compared to a simulation made using the HITRAN96 halfwidths and measurements made at the Universite Pierre et Marie C…

High-resolution FTIR spectrum and analysis of the ν2+ν4 combination band of 32SF6

2003

Abstract The spectroscopic knowledge of sulfur hexafluoride, which is necessary for a correct remote sensing and monitoring of this species in the Earth’s atmosphere, is still very partial. In particular, the hot bands in the strongly absorbing ν 3 region (near 948 cm −1 ) have not been analyzed yet. Their study implies the analysis of many vibrational levels and thus the spectroscopy of various fundamental, harmonic, and combination bands. The present work is a new contribution to this topic, concerning the ν 2 + ν 4 combination band. The FTIR spectrum of this region has been recorded at room temperature with a resolution of 0.002 cm −1 . The data have been analyzed thanks to the HTDS soft…

The 2009 Edition of the GEISA Spectroscopic Database

2011

The updated 2009 edition of the spectroscopic database GEISA (Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques; Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information) is described in this paper. GEISA is a computer-accessible system comprising three independent sub-databases devoted, respectively, to: line parameters, infrared and ultraviolet/visible absorption cross-sections, microphysical and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols. In this edition, 50 molecules are involved in the line parameters sub-database, including 111 isotopologues, for a total of 3,807,997 entries, in the spectral range from 10-6 to 35,877.031cm-1.The successful performances of the new …
