    Notes: We present a new time domain technique for studying molecular orientational relaxation in viscous liquids. A molecular velocity gradient (acoustic disturbance) associated with a density change induced by weak absorption of a 1.06 μm excitation pulse, causes molecular alignment through translational–rotational coupling. Using an optical heterodyne detection method, molecular orientational relaxation is monitored. An eightfold experimental cycle, analogous to phase cycles in NMR, is used to separate the DIHARD signal (density induced heterodyne amplified rotational dynamics) from optical Kerr effect (OKE) contributions and thermal lensing effects. Calculations combining the Navier–Stokes equation with translational–rotational coupling are presented that describe the nature of the method. The method is analyzed theoretically and demonstrated with experiments on supercooled salol (phenyl salicylate). DIHARD experiments on salol combined with heterodyne detected OKE experiments are used to examine long time scale orientational relaxation over a wide range of times and temperatures. While OKE experiments measure the time derivative of an orientational correlation function, it is shown that DIHARD directly measures the time dependence of an orientational correlation function. The experimental results are compared to those previously reported in the literature, which were obtained with other methods. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of electronic excitation transfer (EET) among a small number of chromophores covalently incorporated into copolymer molecules are presented and used to test the results of previously developed analytical EET theories that are useful for the study of polymer chain structure [K. A. Peterson and M. D. Fayer, J. Chem. Phys. 85, 4702 (1986)] and phase separation in polymer blends [A. H. Marcus and M. D. Fayer, J. Chem. Phys. 94, 5622 (1991)]. The simulations and theory account for EET among chromophores bound to a single chain and among chromophores attached to different chains. The calculated quantity, 〈Gs(t)〉, which is the probability that an initially excited chromophore is still excited at time t, is related to time-resolved fluorescence depolarization experiments. The theories, particularly the treatment of interchain EET, depend on a series of approximations whose efficacy has not been determined. Close agreement between the MC simulations and the analytical theory are found for a variety of situations, including those that mimic real polymer systems. The limits beyond which agreement is weakened provide specific guidelines for the design of polymer structure and phase-separation experiments. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Vibrational relaxation measurements on the CO asymmetric stretching mode (∼1980 cm−1) of tungsten hexacarbonyl (W(CO)6) as a function of temperature at constant density in several supercritical solvents in the vicinity of the critical point are presented. In supercritical ethane, at the critical density, there is a region above the critical temperature (Tc) in which the lifetime increases with increasing temperature. When the temperature is raised sufficiently (∼Tc+70 °C), the lifetime decreases with further increase in temperature. A recent hydrodynamic/thermodynamic theory of vibrational relaxation in supercritical fluids reproduces this behavior semiquantitatively. The temperature dependent data for fixed densities somewhat above and below the critical density is in better agreement with the theory. In fluoroform solvent at the critical density, the vibrational lifetime also initially increases with increasing temperature. However, in supercritical CO2 at the critical density, the temperature dependent vibrational lifetime decreases approximately linearly with temperature beginning almost immediately above Tc. The theory does not reproduce this behavior. A comparison between the absolute lifetimes in the three solvents and the temperature trends is made. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Experimental measurements are reported for the temperature dependence of the vibrational lifetime, T1, of the asymmetric CO stretching mode of tungsten hexacarbonyl in supercritical ethane at constant density from just above the critical temperature to substantially higher temperatures. T1 is found initially to increase with temperature along an isochore (reaching a maximum at about 70° above the critical point of ethane), and then subsequently to decrease. Using a recent classical theory of vibrational relaxation, we attempt to rationalize the T1 data. This behavior can be semiquantitatively reproduced by the theory if quantum corrections to the classical rate expressions are assumed to be temperature independent in the limit when the transition energy is much greater than thermal energy. In this case, the theory indicates that the initial increase in T1 with temperature arises because of a competition between properties of the solvent which are changing rapidly as the temperature is raised above the critical temperature. At sufficiently high temperature, properties of the solvent vary slowly with temperature, and the explicit temperature dependence of the vibrational relaxation dominates, producing a decrease in T1 with increasing temperature. The predictions of the theory are also examined when other postulated forms of the quantum correction factors are used, and the implications of these results for theoretical approaches to vibrational relaxation are discussed. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A model is presented for time and spatial dependences of the heating of molecular vibrations and the possible initiation of chemical reaction from heat dissipated in the vicinity of a propagating crack in a molecular crystal. In the model, energy from a moving crack tip is released as phonons in proximity to the crack. Initially the phonons and the molecular vibrations are not in thermal equilibrium. Subsequently, there is a competition between excitation of molecular vibrations by multiphonon up-pumping and diffusion of phonons from the crack region. If the coupling between the locally hot phonon bath and the molecular vibrations is sufficiently large, a transitory high vibrational temperature will be achieved prior to eventual thermal equilibration with the bulk of the crystal. It is found that the peak vibrational temperature can be sufficiently high for a significant time period for chemical reactions to occur. The model calculates the local time-dependent vibrational temperature using reasonable values of the physical input parameters. For a crack tip moving near the speed of sound, the calculations show that vibrational temperatures can reach ∼800 K in 55 ps and exceed 550 K for ∼1 ns after the initial heating. This temperature change is sufficient to produce chemical reaction in a secondary explosive such as HMX, but given the duration and size of the heated region, a single crack should not result in self-sustaining chemical reaction. The role that cracks may play in shock sensitivity is discussed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
