Unitary Approach to Vibrational Spectra of Tetrahedral Molecules: Generalized Infrared Intensity Model.
1997
International audience; In this paper we further extend a previous formalism, the construction of a dipole function adapted to tetrahedral molecules. The extension is based on an algebraic construction of symmetrized tensor operators through unitary algebra and point group symmetry. We prove that this generalization allows us to find the particular formalism that has been established and satisfactorily tested in a previous paper (C. Leroy et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 175, 289–295 (1996)).
Rovibrational Interactions in the Local-Mode Limit: The (n000) Stretching Overtone Bands of Spherical Tops
1995
Abstract We present a tensorial formalism adapted to the study of the ( n 000) rovibrational stretching states of spherical tops in the local mode limit. A local symmetrized rovibrational basis is built to take explicitly into account the fact that, in these states, the local symmetry is C 3ν rather than T d . Likewise, we introduce local rovibrational operators to build an effective Hamiltonian for these states. We then test our model by fitting the energy levels of 28 SiH 4 for 3 ≤ n ≤ 5.
Temporal Soliton “Molecules” in Mode-Locked Lasers: Collisions, Pulsations, and Vibrations
2008
A few years after the discovery of the stable dissipative soliton pairs in passively mode-locked lasers, a large variety of multi-soliton complexes were studied in both experiments and numerical simulations, revealing interesting new behaviors. This chapter focuses on the following three subjects: collisions between dissipative solitons, pulsations of dissipative solitons, and vibrations of soliton pairs. Different outcomes of collisions between a soliton pair and a soliton singlet are discussed, showing possible experimental control in the formation or dissociation of ‘soliton molecules’. Long-period pulsations of single and multiple dissipative solitons are presented as limit cycles and o…
Different acute effects of single-axis and multi-axis hand-arm vibration.
1996
Under laboratory conditions the effects of single-axis and multi-axis hand-arm vibration exposure on several strain parameters were tested in up to 20 male subjects. As parameters of these acute effects, the biodynamic vibration behavior of the hand-arm system, the electrical activity of the most affected muscle groups, the skin temperature, the vibration sensitivity of the fingertips, and the subjective vibration sensation were measured. When comparing simulated three-axis vibration exposure with single-axis vibration exposure, synergistic effects in the form of an increasing reaction could be found. It could be proven that the vector sum of the frequency-weighted acceleration in the three…
Localization of particles in harmonic confinement: Effect of the interparticle interaction
2007
We study the localization of particles rotating in a two-dimensional harmonic potential by solving their rotational spectrum using many-particle quantum mechanics and comparing the result to that obtained with quantizing the rigid rotation and vibrational modes of localized particles. We show that for a small number of particles the localization is similar for bosons and fermions. Moreover, independent of the range of the interaction the quantum mechanical spectrum at large angular momenta can be understood by vibrational modes of localized particles.
Field-free molecular alignment for probing collisional relaxation dynamics
2013
International audience; We report the experimental study of field-free molecular alignment in CO2 gas mixtures induced by intense femtosecond laser pulses in the presence of collisional processes. We demonstrate that the alignment signals exhibit specific features due to nontrivial collisional propensity rules that tend to preserve the orientation of the rotational angular momentum of the molecules. The analysis is performed with a quantum approach based on the modeling of rotational J- and M-dependent state-to-state transfer rates. The present work paves the way for strong-field spectroscopy of collisional dynamics.
Ab InitioCalculations and High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the Bending Pentad of SiH2D2in the 10–16 μm Region
1998
Abstract The SiH 2 D 2 asymmetric top has nine vibrational modes, five of them forming a pentad strongly perturbed by Coriolis interactions. High-level ab initio calculations of SiH 2 D 2 have been performed which yield numerous spectroscopic parameters related to the harmonic and anharmonic force fields. The bending pentad comprising ν 4 (A 1 ), ν 7 (B 1 ), ν 5 (A 2 ), ν 9 (B 2 ), and ν 3 (A 1 ) has been studied by high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy; the region 600–1050 cm −1 has been investigated with a resolution of ca. 4 × 10 −3 cm −1 . Raman BOXCARS spectroscopy has been used for the infrared inactive ν 5 band. The Raman apparatus function was 0.0054 cm −1 . Assignments of …
Vibrational Energy Levels via Finite-Basis Calculations Using a Quasi-Analytic Form of the Kinetic Energy
2015
A variational method for the calculation of low-lying vibrational energy levels of molecules with small amplitude vibrations is presented. The approach is based on the Watson Hamiltonian in rectilinear normal coordinates and characterized by a quasi-analytic integration over the kinetic energy operator (KEO). The KEO beyond the harmonic approximation is represented by a Taylor series in terms of the rectilinear normal coordinates around the equilibrium configuration. This formulation of the KEO enables its extension to arbitrary order until numerical convergence is reached for those states describing small amplitude motions and suitably represented with a rectilinear system of coordinates. …
Development of the Dipole Moment and Polarizability Operators of Octahedral Molecules
1999
We present a development of the dipole moment and polarizability operators of octahedral molecules, using a tensorial formalism analogous to the one developed for tetrahedral molecules. These operators are involved in the calculation of the intensities of rovibrational transitions as well as in the calculation of the Stark effect. Expressions for the matrix elements are derived. Two simplified models for the study of the Stark effect in such molecules are also proposed and discussed. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
Photoionization of Oriented Systems and Circular Dichroism
1996
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a modification of normal absorption spectroscopy using circularly polarized light instead of unpolarized light for determining the difference in the absorption coefficients for right and left circularly polarized light, respectively, in optically active samples. Thus, there is nothing mysterious about CD spectroscopy. However, relative to most other spectroscopic techniques there seems to be a large psychological barrier in its application and at least physicists often regard CD, and optical activity in general, as a rather obscure technique without any useful application. There are some understandable reasons for this attitude, manifesting themselves…
