Vibrational Energy Exchange for a Morse Potential Interaction

Abstract: The vibrational energy transfer between an atom and an atomic oscillator is considered for a Morse potential interaction, from the point of view of thermal accommodation coefficient theory. An expression is obtained for the transition probabilities for the exchange of one quantum of energy. A comparison is made with the semiclassical theory. Inconsistencies in the literature are noted and discussed.
