Transient IR spectroscopy of optically centrifuged CO₂ (R186–R282) and collision dynamics for the J = 244–282 states

Abstract

Collisions of optically centrifuged CO2 molecules with J=244-282 (Erot =22,800-30,300 cm-1) are investigated with high-resolution transient IR absorption spectroscopy to reveal collisional and orientational phenomena of molecules with hyper-thermal rotational...
