ABSTRACTThe internal energy distribution of NO molecules scattered from different solid surfaces (Pt(111), graphite, and Pt(111) covered with various adlayers) was investigated by the laser-induced fluorescence method. In the case of the NO/graphite system, moreover, the velocity distribution of the scattered molecules could be measured in a time-offlight experiment. The rotational energy distribution, which can always be described as a Boltzmann distribution, exhibits only partial accommodation to the surface temperature for all surfaces investigated. The measurements of the velocity of the NO molecules scattered from the graphite surface show only a small influence of the surface temperature on the average velocity and on the velocity distribution. Furthermore, the measured velocity distribution is independent of the final rotational state of the scattered molecules. On the basis of these results, a rather complete description of the behavior of the NO molecules during the scattering process can be presented.

The nascent rotational distribution of the CsH molecules formed by the reaction between a cesium atom in the 7P1/2 state and a hydrogen molecule has been measured in a cell. A thermal distribution at the temperature of the cell is reported.

The effect on the spectrum of a molecule of the environment in which it is located depends upon the changes which the surroundings produce in the electronic, vibrational, rotational and nuclear energies of the upper and lower states of the molecule. Studies of the influence of environment in the gaseous, liquid or solid states can thus be made by any of the appropriate techniques listed in table 1, and it is clearly desirable in studying any one system to use as many different techniques as possible. A basic difference between the effect of environment on electronic and vibra­tional energy levels arises from the very much greater overlap of electron density with the environment that results from electronic excitation. Hence while for the consideration of changes which arise in the vibrational spectrum it is adequate to consider only the distortion of the curve relating the interaction energy to the intermolecular distance in the electronic ground state, for electronic spectra, how­ever, the changes in the potential curves in both upper and lower states must clearly be taken into account. Collisions between molecules in gases lead to the broadening of rotational energy levels, and much useful information on inter­molecular force fields has resulted from observations on pressure broadening of pure rotational lines in the microwave region. Both self-broadening and broadening by different foreign gases have been studied as well as the dependence of line half­width Δ v 1/2 on the rotational quantum numbers J and K (Townes & Schawlow 1955).
