Abstract
Samples of propyne trapped in solid parahydrogen show multiple peak structures in their infrared spectra. These structures are attributed to molecules in two distinct kinds of matrix sites. The most intense lines are assigned to propyne molecules executing a slightly hindered methyl rotation, as was extensively studied in our earlier publication from our two groups, and the other set of peaks to propyne trapped in a secondary site where the methyl rotation is quenched and replaced by methyl torsion within the matrix site. The assignment of the various rovibrational transitions is made possible by the observation of nuclear spin conversion (NSC) within the methyl group at long timescales. The NSC rate depends on the site and is much slower in the sites where the methyl rotation is quenched.
期刊介绍:
Guided by an international editorial board, Low Temperature Physics (LTP) communicates the results of important experimental and theoretical studies conducted at low temperatures. LTP offers key work in such areas as superconductivity, magnetism, lattice dynamics, quantum liquids and crystals, cryocrystals, low-dimensional and disordered systems, electronic properties of normal metals and alloys, and critical phenomena. The journal publishes original articles on new experimental and theoretical results as well as review articles, brief communications, memoirs, and biographies.
Low Temperature Physics, a translation of the copyrighted Journal FIZIKA NIZKIKH TEMPERATUR, is a monthly journal containing English reports of current research in the field of the low temperature physics. The translation began with the 1975 issues. One volume is published annually beginning with the January issues.
