Laser-induced quadrupole-quadrupole collisional energy transfer in Xe-Kr

By considering the relative velocity distribution function and multipole expansion interaction Hamiltonian, a three-state model for calculating the cross section of laser-induced quadrupole-quadrupole collisional energy transfer is presented. Calculated results in Xe-Kr system show that in the present system, the laser-induced collision process occurs for -4 ps, which is much shorter than the dipole-dipole laser-induced collisional energy transfer （LICET） process. The spectrum of laser-induced quadrupole quadrupole collisional energy transfer in Xe-Kr system has wider tunable range in an order of magnitude than the dipole-dipole LICET spectra. The peak cross section decreases and moves to the quasi-static wing with increasing temperature and the full width at half peak of the profile becomes larger as the system temperature increases.

Four-level model of ion-ion laser-induced collisional energy transfer and numerical calculations for Ca^+-Sr^+ system

The four-level model of laser-induced collisional energy transfer （LICET） for the ion-ion collision system is established based on the time-dependent SchrSdinger equation for the electron dynamics, through which the equations of motion of the probability amplitudes and cross section of the collision system are obtained. Numerical calculations are performed for the Ca＋ Sr＋ system, with the results showing that the peak of the LICET spectrum appears at a resonant frequency of the transfer laser. The magnitude of the obtained collision cross section is in the order of 10-16 cm2, and is comparable to that obtained in atomic systems, which indicates the validity of the established four-level model.

Quasiclassical Trajectory Study of Collisional Energy Transfer between Highly Excited C_6F_6 and N_2 ,O_2 and Ground State C_6F_6

Quasiclassical trajectory calculation (QCT) is used frequently for studying collisional energy transfer between highly vibrationally excited molecules and bath gases. In this paper, the QCT of the energy transfer between highly vibrationally excited C6F6 and N2 ,O2 and ground state C6F6 were performed. The results indicate that highly vibrationally excited C6F6 transferred vibrational energy to vibrational distribution of N2, O2 and ground state C6F6, so they are V-V energy transfer. Especially it is mainly V-V resonance energy transfer between excited C6F6 and ground state C6F6, excited C6F6 transfers more vibrational energy to ground state C6F6 than to N2 and O2 . The values of QCT , -〈DEvib〉of excited C6F6 are smaller than those of experiments.

Laser-induced collisional energy transfer in Sr-Li system

A four-state model considering the relative velocity distribution function for calculating the cross section of laserinduced collisional energy transfer in a Sr Li system is presented and profiles of laser-induced collision cross section are obtained. The resulting spectra obtained from different intermediate states are strongly asymmetrical in an opposite asymmetry. Both of the two intermediate states have contributions to the final state, and none of the intermediate states should be neglected. The peak of the laser-induced collisional energy transfer （LICET） profile shifts toward the red and the FWHM becomes narrower obviously with laser field intensity increasing. A cross section of 1.2 × 10^-12 cm2 at a laser field intensity of 2.17 ×107 V/m is obtained, which indicates that this collision process can be an effective way to transfer energy selectively from a storage state to a target state. The existence of saturation for cross section with the increase of the laser intensity shows that the high-intensity redistribution of transition probabilities is an important feature of this process, which is not accounted for in a two-state treatment.
