The tempdrature dependence of the theoretical second moment of the IR absorption of the rare eases was compared to the experimental one. The comparison has been done by substituting the reduced form of the dipole, ct*. by a simple function of the reduced potential, V*. It is shown that for p* (I V* the best agreement between the theoretical calculation and the experimental

results is obtained.

The induced IR absorption spectra of pairs of rare gases are still the only sources of information on induced dipoles arising during collisions between dissimilar atoms. Induced dipoles have been evaluated from the absorption moments [I -31 and line shapes [4-61. These dipole moments are developed mainiy by

electronic overlap [7,8] during binary collision. For almost ali pairs of rare gases a number of induced IR spectra have been published recently, covering a range of temperatures 191. For these experimental results Bar-Ziv and Weiss found an empirical relation between the second absorption moment, and several molecular properties, as a function of the temperature [9] : ‘yap

Hererexp is the experimental second absorption moment; Kr is a pro ortionality constant, equal to 1.04 X 1016 cm- % s2 deg-’ Am-’ ; E is the potential well depth; k is the Boltzmann constant; m is the reduced mass; rmin is the location of the minimum of the potential; Ia2 - al I is the difference of the polarizabiliiies of the two atoms, and T” is the reduced temperature deimed by T* = kT/e, where T is the absolute temperature. Poll and van Kranendonk showed that the second absorption moment, is classically related to the intermolecular potential and the induced dipole moment by the following equation [lo] :

Here r is the interatomic distance; ,u is the dipole moment; V is the interatomic potential. Introducing reduced quantities: V* = V/E, p* = p/p,, where p. is a strength parameter, and r* = rlrti one obtains: ytheo =(42/3mc2)

The shape of this reduced dipole is very similar to the shape of the reduced potential evaluated by Lee and co-workers [ 1 I] ,

this is illustrated in fig. 1. It is, therefore, tempting to hypothesize that a simple relationship exists between the induced dipole moment and the interatomic potentiitl. Inorder to examine this hypothesis, P(2) was calculated using ,u* defined as a simpie function of I/*. The calculated dependence cf 1*(2) versus T'3/2 wqscompared with the one observed experimentally. TWO functions were examined: one in which p* was assumed to be proportional to V$ and another one in which p* was proportional to V* ,k* . In Gg. 2 the calculated I” (2) is plotted against T*312, using the -above two functions. It can be clearly seen that the function in which p* is proportional to V* gives

almost a straight line which fits tba experimental results. On the other hand the calculated 1*(2) dependence on y312 using l Lhe second function is not a straight line and deviates from the fiwt at high temperatures. Therefore, the preferable function is y*(r*) a V*(r*). If the reduced dipole, expressed above, is multiplied by the empirical expression of the dipole strength [3] - given by eq. (6) - one obtains-a relation between the induced dipole moment and the interatomic potential j.r(Fj= 2.26 X 105\42.-01+‘2V(r)

Thus 1-(1(r)and ~z(r) are the collision induced atomic dipoles of the first and the second atoms respectively for a certain pair. This expression is, therefore, a summation rule for these atomic dipoles.
