Spectra of the infrared fundamental band of solid hydrogen with orthohydrogen concentrations in the range 75 to ~99% were recorded at 1.05 and ~5 K, i.e. below and above the order–disorder phase transition which occurs at 2.8 K for pure o-H2. The effect of "impurity" para molecules in the o-H2 lattice could thus be studied with and without orientational ordering of the o-H2 molecules. The zero-phonon Q1, S1(0), and S1(1) features are of particular interest, and are interpreted in terms of travelling vibrational, rotational, and orientational excitations (vibrons, rotons, and librons). The Q branch for ~100% o-H2 in the ordered state shows a structured side band, shifted by ~6–26 cm−1 from the Q1(1) frequency and due to one- and two-libron excitations; in the disordered state this becomes a Boltzmann-modified band of half-width 12 cm−1, centered at the Q1(1) frequency, and due to predominantly low-energy orientational transitions of interacting o-H2 molecules. The S1(0) group of maxima in the ordered state is interpreted as the superposition of the transitions, Q1(1) + S0(0) and Q1(1) + S0(0) + libron, where Q1(1) is an o-H2 vibron and S0(0) is the localized rotational transition of an impurity p-H2 molecule, the J = 2 level of which is split into three sublevels by the C3i field of the Pa3 crystal structure.

The orientational ordering in solid ortho–para hydrogen mixtures is reviewed with emphasis on dilute mixtures for which a glass-like freezing of the randomly distributed quantum rotators is observed. The interpretation of the various nuclear magnetic resonance experiments used to monitor the relevant order parameters is discussed, and a summary is given of the current consensus and outstanding problems concerning the nature of the ordering in random dilute mixtures.
