Abstract: | Linewidths in CO-CO, CO-N2, CO-C2 and CO-NO collisions have been calculated using an improved potential for atom-atom interactions in addition to the first-order terms of the electrostatic interaction. The energy parameters characterizing the Lennard-Jones potential have been estimated previously from second virial coefficients. Overall agreement between calculated and experimental linewidths (particularly for CO-O2 mixtures for which the electrostatic contributions are weak) is thus obtained without any adjustable parameters. It is concluded that the atom-atom potential describes the angular dependence of the short-range forces in molecular collisions fairly adequately. |
