Abstract
The vibrational population relaxation time has been measured across the inh omogeneously broadened OH stretching mode (nu(3)) Of a 0.5% solution of HDO in D2O. Relaxation times vary from 0.5 ps at low frequency (3270 cm(-1)) t o 1.0 ps at high frequency (3600 cm(-1)). This variation is attributed to a V-V transfer mechanism between nu(3) and 2 nu(2).
