The power absorption coefficient a of microwaves of wave number v = 0� 333cm-1 by methyl chloride at 33� 7�C has been studied at pressures up to 2 atm, and the results are compared with theoretical predictions. Discrepancies which have previously been attributed to the effect of transitions between low.lying rotational states are shown to be due to three� body collisions. The collision diameter for pressure broadening of theinversion transition in methyl chloride is found to be 8�6 A; this is significantly larger an the figure of 7 . 2 A reported by earlier workerswho neglected the effect of three-body ollisions.

Abstract The D 1∏u - X1∑g+system of H2 and D2 shows strong predissociation. High resolution m easurements on the line widths of isolated absorption lines have been carried out, showing the influence of rotation on the predissociation probability of the corresponding rotational states. Their lifetime decreases with increasing rotation of the molecule and with decreasing mass due to the coupling of electronic and rotational motion. Both results are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions given by Kronig. The shape of the absorption lines broadened by predissociation was found to be typically asymmetric. They are of the Beutler type, well known form the autoionisation of the rare gases.

We study the critical endpoint behavior of an asymmetric Ising model with two- and three-body interactions on a triangular lattice, in the presence of an external field. We use a two-dimensional Wang–Landau sampling method to determine the density of states for this model. An accurate density of states allowed us to map out the phase diagram accurately and observe a clear divergence of the curvature of the spectator phase boundary and of the derivative of the magnetization coexistence diameter near the critical endpoint, in agreement with previous theoretical predictions.

In this paper, experimental observations of the overstable cellular convection which occurs in a layer of mercury heated uniformly from below, and subject to Coriolis forces, is described. The observations confirm Chandrasekhar’s theoretical predictions regarding the wave number of the cells and of the characteristic period of the oscillatory motions. A detailed analysis of the movement of tracers clearly illustrates the periodic reversal of the convective circulation and the hexagonal pattern of the convection cells.
