A laser induced fluorescence study of vibrational energy transfer processes in cyclopropane
Results of infrared laser induced fluorescence studies on cyclopropane are presented. Molecules were excited from the ground state to the v 10 level of cyclopropane using a Q-switched CO 2 laser operating on either the P(14) or P(20) transition of the 9.6 μ branch. Fluorescence was observed from the...

| Summary: | Results of infrared laser induced fluorescence studies on cyclopropane are presented. Molecules were excited from the ground state to the
