G. Baldacchini et al., VARIATIONS IN THE SIGN OF THE PRESSURE-INDUCED LINESHIFTS IN THE NU(2) BAND OF AMMONIA WITH TEMPERATURE, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 55(6), 1996, pp. 741-743
The self-collisional shift of the aP(6,0) and aP(6,1) lines of the inf
rared v(2) ammonia band was measured as a function of temperature in t
he range 200-400 K. In agreement with theoretical predictions, the shi
ft goes from negative (red shift) to positive (blue shift) with increa
sing temperature. Such a result must be taken into account in modellin
g the temperature dependence of pressure shift. Copyright (C) 1996 Els
