- W4382807466 abstract "This project addressed precise measurements of the spectra of molecules to address fundamental questions in chemical physics in the realm of nuclear spin symmetries and their breakdown in molecules, and parity non-conservation caused by the weak nuclear force. Nuclear spin symmetry is intimately connected to parity in symmetrical molecules and plays a central role in the physical and chemical properties of symmetric molecules, their collisional relaxation, and the establishment of thermodynamic equilibrium in an ensemble. Such effects are present in every molecular system or process, but their small size means they are often only directly observable under special conditions. However, their measurement is of fundamental, and often practical importance, and strongly relates to the themes of coherence in light and matter in the recent Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (BESAC) report “Challenges at the Frontiers of Matter and Energy: Transformative Opportunities for Discovery Science”. We begin by addressing lifetime broadening of spectroscopic lines caused by self-collisions in acetylene, where efficient resonant rotational energy transfer between a pair of molecules separated in energy by rotational quantum number ΔJ = ± 2, can result in a different pressure broadening for ortho- and para- nuclear spin state molecules. This work was prompted by a controversial report [Iwakuni et al. Phys. Rev Letts. 117 (2016) 143902] of the observation of such an effect in the v1+v3 combination band transition of acetylene discussed in the original proposal. After delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have completed these measurements and a paper was published in the Journal of Chemical Physics describing the work. The measurements pointed out that the use of an approximate model in the analysis of the original work was the cause of the erroneous conclusion that ortho and para acetylene molecules had substantially different collisional lifetime broadening. In the process, much improved broadening measurements have been made that will permit more reliable modeling of the effects in the future. Subsequently, we have completed a new set of measurements of self- and nitrogen-collisional broadening at a series of low and intermediate temperatures to characterize the temperature dependence of the effects in the molecule. This work is currently being analyzed and will be the subject of a paper to be published in the relatively near future. In addition, some very preliminary measurements of CH4 as described in the proposal, have been completed. If facilities and time permit, these will continue as an undergraduate research project." @default.
