Gm. Gale et al., Frequency-dependent vibrational population relaxation time of the OH stretching mode in liquid water, CHEM P LETT, 311(3-4), 1999, pp. 123-125
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). (C) 1999 Elsevier Scienc
