Collision Relaxation Cross Section of Highly Vibrationally Excited Molecules

“…In vibration-translation energy transfer, there is evidence suggesting a mechanism depicted by dispersion force involving the transition dipole [3,20]. Even in collision energy transfer of highly excited diatomics where the vibrational level density is much lower, studies have substantiated the importance of long range interactions involving a transition dipole [15].…”
