angular distributions. For small changes in the rotational angular momentum quantum number (j), the ND 3 is predominantly forward scattered, but the scattering shifts to the sideways and backward directions as ∆j increases. For scattering into a given ݆Ԣ ᇱ േ state, crosssections for collisions that conserve the +/-symmetry associated with the ND 3 inversion vibration are larger and generally more forward scattered than the corresponding symmetry-changing processes.
We present the effect of surface attraction on the vapor-liquid equilibria of square well (SW) fluids in slit pores of varying slit width from quasi 3D to 2D regime using molecular simulation methodologies. Four to five distinct linear regimes are found for shift in the critical temperature with inverse slit width, which is more prominent at higher surface fluid interaction strength. On the other hand, shift in the critical density and the critical pressure does not show any specific trend. Nevertheless, critical density and pressure show the sign of approaching toward the 3D bulk value with increase in the slit pore width, H, beyond 40 molecular diameters. The crossover from 3D to 2D behavior for attractive pores is observed around 14-16 molecular diameters, which is significantly different from the crossover behavior in the hydrophobic slit pore. Critical properties for H 2. However, interfacial properties approaches to the bulk value with increasing slit width. On the other hand, surface tension at a reduced temperature displays a nonmonotonic behavior with the change in H, which is in good agreement with the nature of the corresponding scaled interfacial width.
We present state-to-state differential cross sections (DCSs) for rotationally inelastic scattering of HDO by normal- and para-H(2) at collision energies of 580 cm(-1) and 440 cm(-1). (2+1) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization is used to detect rotationally cold HDO molecules before collision and as scattering products, which occupy higher rotational states due to collision with H(2). Relative integral cross sections of HDO are obtained by integrating its DCSs measured at the same experimental conditions. Experimental and theoretical DCSs of HDO scattered by normal- and para-H(2) are in good agreement in 30°-180° range of scattering angles. This partial agreement shows the accuracy of the recently tested potential of H(2)O-H(2), but now by using a completely different set of rotational transitions that are (unlike in H(2)O), not forbidden by nuclear spin restrictions. Similar results are presented for D(2)O scattered by normal-H(2) at collision energy of 584 cm(-1). The agreement between experiment and theory is, however, less good for forward scattering of HDO/D(2)O. A critical analysis of this discrepancy is presented.
