70 years of Landau–Teller theory for collisional energy transfer. Semiclassical three-dimensional generalizations of the classical collinear model

Abstract: This article, in historical retrospective, describes the development of the celebrated Landau-Teller (LT) model of 1936 for vibrational-translational energy exchange in collisions of an atom with a diatomic molecule. We discuss semiclassical generalizations of the classical LT model and generalizations of the collinear LT model to account for the effects of rotation of the diatom on the vibrational relaxation rate. The former is based on the recovery of the Landau semiclassical exponent from the classical LT e… Show more

“…We account for processes (R14) and (R15) assuming that their rate coefficients are related to those for υ = 1 according to the Landau-Teller theory as k 14 (υ) = υk 3 and k 15 (υ) = υk 4 . 63 The addition of these processes does not have significant effect to the model output and requires no additional correction to the value of k 2,fit .…”

“…follows an m À2 r À3 dependence, where m is the dipole moment of the optical transition (Massey, Burhop, & Gilbody, 1974;Nikitin, 1974). Nikitin and Troe (2008) have recently reviewed the basics of Landau-Teller theory. Since the probability of forming an excited state in the departing ion is a function of P(1 À P), it is clear that there will be a set of conditions that represents a maximum in this probablility.…”

“…First, the Landau-Teller (LT) model is used to simplify the first two terms. The LT equation can only be derived from the master equation under certain assumptions 37,38 , such as mono-quantum transitions. However, use of the LT model is common in CFD codes used for flows in thermal nonequilibrium, and there is evidence that vibrational energy relaxation time constants, determined both experimentally and computationally, can be accurately fit with the LT model 1,2,16 .…”
