--- res: bibo_abstract: - We develop an analytic model of thermal state-to-state rotationally inelastic collisions of asymmetric-top molecules with closed-shell atoms in electric fields and apply it to the Ar-H2O collision system. The predicted cross sections as well as the steric asymmetry of the collisions show at fields up to 150 kV/cm characteristic field-dependent features which can be experimentally tested. Particularly suitable candidates for such tests are the 000 → 220 and 101→ 221 channels, arising from the relaxation of the field-free selection rules due to the hybridization of J states by the field. Averaging over the M' product channels is found to largely obliterate the orientation effects brought about by the field.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Mikhail foaf_name: Mikhail Lemeshko foaf_surname: Lemeshko foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-6990-7802 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Břetislav foaf_name: Friedrich, Břetislav foaf_surname: Friedrich bibo_doi: 10.1021/jp9051598 bibo_issue: '52' bibo_volume: 113 dct_date: 2009^xs_gYear dct_publisher: American Chemical Society@ dct_title: Model analysis of rotationally inelastic Ar + H2O scattering in an electric field@ ...
