9313875 Goodman In this project in the Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Lionel Goodman of the Department of Chemistry of Rutgers University will study the methyl group internal rotational motions in a number of molecules using the techniques of Rydberg and ZEKE (Zero Kinetic Energy) spectroscopy. The shapes and heights of the torsional potential barriers in the ground-, radical cation-, and excited Rydberg states will be obtained in order to provide data for testing molecular models for internal rotation potentials. %%% The torsional motions of methyl groups in molecules are presently under intensive investigation for the insight that they provide to the problem of intramolcular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR). The goal of controlling chemical reactions by laser excitations requires an understanding of how the excitation energy flows into various possible reaction channels. Methyl group torsional motions can be studied in an accessible region of the spectrum and offer a one dimensional theoretical model for tracking IVR. ***

9313875 Goodman在化学系物理化学项目的这个项目中，罗格斯大学化学系的莱昂内尔·古德曼教授将使用Rydberg和ZEKE技术研究许多分子中的甲基内旋转运动（零动能）光谱。 扭转势垒的形状和高度在地面，自由基阳离子，和激发里德堡态将获得，以提供数据用于测试分子模型的内部旋转电位。 分子中甲基的扭转运动是分子内振动能再分布（IVR）问题的一个重要研究方向。通过激光激发控制化学反应的目标需要了解激发能量如何流入各种可能的反应通道。甲基扭转运动可以在光谱的可接近区域进行研究，并为跟踪IVR提供了一维理论模型。 ***
