Pressure-Induced Infrared Absorption of Gaseous Hydrogen and Deuterium at Low Temperatures. III. Further Analysis of the Fundamental and First Overtone Bands of Hydrogen
Pressure-induced infrared spectra of hydrogen in the fundamental region, recorded at 18, 20.4, and 24 K, have been reanalyzed making use of recently calculated theoretical matrix elements of the polarizability and the quadrupole moment of hydrogen. The analysis revealed a density dependence in the relative intensities of the single and double transition quadrupolar induced components. This density dependence was used as a correction to improve the analysis of the first overtone spectrum, obtained at 24 K with a density of 31 amagat. The observed and calculated spectra then agreed to a satisfactory degree except for a discrepancy in the intensity of the Q1(1) + Q1(J) components for which no satisfactory explanation could be given.
