The effect of the rotational temperature of the O2 molecules on the glory structure in the total collision cross section has been observed for O2–Ar and O2–Kr systems. For O2–Kr the effect has been well characterized by the comparison of the cross sections with those for Ar–Kr system. The cross sections with O2 molecules at a rotational temperture of ∼900 K are close to the atom–atom results, while the cross sections with O2 at low rotational temperature of 10–150 K show a modification of the glory structure due to the anisotropy of the interaction.(AIP)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
