| Abstract: | The applicability of the Landau-Teller energy-relaxation equation of a harmonic oscillator is verified for the CO2 molecule in which there is Fermi resonance. It is shown that the distribution over the split levels of the symmetric mode formed by vibrational exchange processes and transitions within multiplets is analogous to the Treanore distribution for a singlemode anharmonic oscillator.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 8–17, May–June, 1975. |
