Untrapped dynamics of molecules within an accelerating optical lattice
We investigate the dynamics of untrapped molecules within a far-off resonant accelerating optical lattice. Our analysis shows that untrapped molecules can be temporarily transported by the lattice, an...

Carboxylic acid dimers serve as prototypical systems for modeling the unusual spectral behavior of the hydride stretch fundamental. Large anharmonic effects associated with the pair of cooperatively strengthened OH[centered ellipsis]O[Double Bond]C hydrogen bonds produces complicated infrared spectra in which the OH stretch oscillator strength is spread over hundreds of wave numbers, resulting in a complicated band sub-structure. In this work cubic anharmonic constants are computed along internal coordinates associated with the intramolecular OH stretch, intermolecular stretch, and OH bend internal coordinates for the formic acid and benzoic acid dimers. These are then projected onto the normal coordinates to produce mixed states that are used in computing the OH stretch infrared spectrum. For the benzoic acid dimer the calculations accurately reproduce for three deuterated isotopomers the overall breadth and much of the vibrational sub-structure in the observed spectra. For the formic acid dimer, the spectrum is calculated using a model employing a subset of the cubic force constants as well as using the full cubic force field. The spectra calculated for the formic acid dimer are sparser and somewhat more sensitive to the exact positions of the anharmonically coupled states than that of the benzoic acid dimer. Again semiquantitative agreement with experiment is obtained. ©2003 American Institute of Physics.

  17. The harmonic frequencies for the h5-h5 and d5-d6 dimers are 3150 and 3100 cm–1, respectively. The choice of 2950 cm–1 for the OH stretch fundamental corrects for the large anharmonicity anticipated for this vibration, and places the fundamental in its approximately correct position by comparison with experiment.
