Notes:
The translational-to-vibrational and rotational (T-V,R) excitation of H2O with 2.2 eV hydrogen atoms is studied by time-resolved Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Up to 2900 cm−1 of rotational excitation is observed in (001), with a strong preference for in-plane rather than out-of-plane rotation for J≥7, which implies a unique collision process leading to rotational alignment.
