The molecules freely absorb and emit these, being in a thermal equilibrium distribution with a significant fraction in
the vibrational state at any given time.

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.
Therefore, the results achieved in this study have shown that nonlinear effects in graphene nano - mechanical resonators reveal a hybridization effect
at high energies that, if controlled, could open up new possibilities to manipulate
vibrational states, engineer hybrid
states with mechanical modes
at completely different frequencies, and to study the collective motion of highly tunable systems.
We detect C3 in absorption arising from the warm envelope surrounding the... ▽ More We present spectrally resolved observations of triatomic carbon (C3) in several ro -
vibrational transitions between the
vibrational ground
state and the low - energy nu2 bending mode
at frequencies between 1654 - 1897 GHz along the sight - lines to the submillimeter continuum sources W31C and W49N, using Herschel's HIFI instrument.
For a collection of CO2 molecules, say
at 20» C, what proportion of the molecules are in the various excited
vibrational states accessible to CO2?
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.
The outgoing radiation doesn't even see the incoming back radiation as they are
at two different
vibrational states.
Molecules in liquid don't have such clean discrete
states but they do still interact more strongly
at frequencies close to such
vibrational states.
