The absorption spectra of ethylene and ethylene-d4 have been investigated in the 1300 Å to 1500 Å region using the first order of a 21-ft. vacuum grating spectrograph. Vibrational constants for the v2(ag) stretching vibration and the v4(au) twisting vibration have been determined for each of the observed five Rydberg states. The torsional oscillator–rotator treatment has been applied to the observed twisting data, and potential barriers hindering free rotation of 500 to 1200 cm−1 were obtained. It is concluded that the stable equilibrium configuration of the Rydberg states is not of D2h symmetry but is probably bent or staggered.

We investigate cryogenic flows of liquid4He between two grids oscillating in phase, at temperatures ranging from approximately 1.3 to 2.5 K, resulting in suitably defined Reynolds numbers up to$10^{5}$. We specifically study the flow-induced motions of small particles suspended in the fluid by using the particle tracking velocimetry technique. We focus on turbulent flows of superfluid4He that occur below approximately 2.2 K and are known to display, in certain conditions, features different from those observed in flows of classical viscous fluids, such as water. We find that, at large enough length scales, larger than the mean distance between quantized vortices, representing the quantum length scale of the flow, the shapes of the velocity and velocity increment statistical distributions are very similar to those obtained in turbulent flows of viscous fluids. The experimental outcome strongly supports the view that, in the range of investigated parameters, particles probing flows of superfluid4He behave as if they were tracking classical flows.
