Sentences with phrase «same vibrational state»

That means the energy was not limited to one diamond or the other — both shared the same vibrational state (Science, DOI: 10.1126 / science.1211914).

That means the energy was not localised in one diamond or the other, but that they shared the same vibrational state.

Not exact matches

For example, she says, they might try to put the resonator into a Schrödinger cat state, in which it would contain a macroscopic sound wave, comprising many vibrational quanta, and at the same time be devoid of vibrations.

(Since we're talking about IR radiation, the quantum states involved are the vibrational states of molecules rather than the electronic states of atoms, but the fundamental principles are the same.)

A warm parcel of air will radiate more than a colder parcel, even at the same 390 ppm of CO2 in the air due to the population of the different rotational and vibrational energy states of the GHGs from collisions with other atmospheric molecules in the LTE limit.

My main point is that my substantial physics training leads me to believe that the main impact of GHGs is vibrational excitation followed by return to the ground state, emitting a photon of the same wavelength but in a random direction, rather than by any significant transfer of internal vibrational energy to thermal energy of surrounding molecules.
