Vibration-Rotation Studies of Condensed Phase Dynamical Interactions

在实验物理化学的这个项目中，施特劳斯教授(加州大学伯克利分校)将使用红外光谱来研究凝聚相中的分子间相互作用。光谱烧孔将被用来研究低温下固体中的振动能量流动。我们将从理论和实验两方面研究在慢时间尺度上发生的原型旋转过程和构象变化。要研究的体系包括选择性的氢化铵离子、碳氢化合物和全氟碳氢化合物的无定形薄膜，以及氢/冰包合物。溶解在水冰中的氢被认为是寒冷行星及其卫星的组成部分。通过在实验室中研究该体系和类似体系的性质，施特劳斯教授(加州大学伯克利分校)将以极具成本效益的方式增加我们的化学知识。通过他的光谱研究获得的信息将有助于解释从行星空间探测器发出的化学数据。

In this project in Experimental Physical Chemistry , Prof. Strauss (U.C. Berkeley) will use infrared spectroscopy to study intermolecular interactions in condensed phases. Spectral hole-burning will be used to study the flow of vibrational energy in solids at low temperatures. Prototype rotational processes and conformational changes occuring on a slow time scale will be studied theoretically as well as experimentally. Systems to be studied include selectively deuterated ammonium ions,amorphous films of hydrocarbons and perfluorinated hydrocarbons, and hydrogen/ice inclusion compounds. %%% Hydrogen dissolved in water ice is thought to be a constituent of cold planets and their moons. By studying the properties of this and similar systems in the laboratory, Prof. Strauss (UC Berkeley) will add to our chemical knowledge in a highly cost effective manner. Information obtained by his spectroscopic studies will aid in interpreting chemical data sent from planetary space probes.
