Microwave absorption by ortho-H2 pairs in solid hydrogen: temperature and density dependence of the frequencies
Keyword(s):
The energy levels of an ortho-hydrogen pair in solid para-hydrogen are mainly determined by the electric quadrupole–quadrupole interaction between the ortho molecules which has an R−5 dependence. The frequencies of the observed absorption lines should therefore shift as a function of temperature due to thermal expansion. The experimental result for this shift, however, is a factor of 2 to 3 larger than that expected from thermal expansion calculated from specific heat data. We have also pressurized the sample at constant temperature with helium gas up to ≈0.4 bar, and obtained a confirmation of the R−5 dependence.
