The temperature dependence of onequantum V - V mcr~) exchange probxbdiries imohing highly excited CO molrI CO(l) - CO(u) f CO(O) has been investigated. I‘or u = 8, the probabdity increases by an order of magnitude orer the temper&ture r.mse 100-3000 I;; for a = 15, the increase is nearly tno crders of mzgnitude. The dependence of energy ewh.mge probabilities on u is not stron,.0 The contribution of moleculx attraction dominates that of recules m CO(u-1)

at Ioxxer temperatures.
l_ Introduction in this letter we shall report the temperature dependence of vibration-vibration (VV) energy exchange prob3bilities smong highly excited Iekels of CO molecules, which is an import3nt problem in underst3nding the performmce of CO 13sers. Many papers have been published on CO chemical lasers [ !] , but the temperature dependence of wbratiomd energy exchange probabilities involving highly excited levels of CO h3ve received little sttention. We shall 3ppIy the model of short-range interaction, which h3s 3lready been shown to produce srttisfxtory results for the energy exchange processes involving highly excited vibntional levels [2] , to the one-quantum process CO(u-I) + CO(l) -+ CO(u) + CO(O). where u = S-15 over the temperature rangeof 100 to3000 K_

When ihe integration is performed, the contribution of each atom--atom interaction term contains the factor exp[(rfe - r)/~] or exp[(ri, - r)/%] _ To estimate the atom-atom equihbrium distance rr-ein this factor, we first equate the equilibrium distance re between the centers of mass of the colliding molecules to that of the LennardJones potential_ Since the Lennard-Jones parameter o is 3-70 a [3], re = 4.16 A_ The orientation avemge introduced in the formulation of Y(r, x1. x2) is based on the model of the rapid rotation of colliding molecules. Then, each moIecuIe can be viewed as two concentric spheres, the outer formed by the rotation of the carbon atom around the center of mass of CO and the inner by the oxygen atom. Thus, the sum of the interactions at the shortest distance between two spheres will determine the overall intemction energy_ When r = re, rIe is the nearest distsnce between two inner spheres, re - ?qzd = 3-19 a, r4e is between two outer spheres, i.e., re - 3q1 d = 2.87 A, and the distance between the outer sphere of molecule I and the inner of moIecuIe 2 is r2e = rse = re q1 d - qzd = 3-03 A_ Therefore. the factors exp [(rfe - re)/a] appearing in exp [(ri, - r)/a] = exp ](F, - re)/n ] - r&z] = exp[& - r&r] = exp(-1.13/a) X exp [(fe - Mr] are exp ](rJe - r-,)/a] = esp (-0.964/a), exp[&, and exp [(r4e - r&z] = exp (- l-29/ CI), w here CIis in ii_ Similar reMions will be obtained for the attractive part, i-e_, exp[(ri, - re)/%] _ With the introduction of these relations, the orientation Etvemged function crm be given as Y(G xJ, x2) = D (A exp [(re - r)/~] - 2B exp [(re - r)/2n] ] +D {A’exp

Kelley [2] have noted that for large u the VV process can be explained in terms of short-range interactions, while for small u by long-ranSe dipole-dipole interactions [91_ The result for u > 7 shown in fig. 1 supports this earlier report. The present approach is based on short-rsnSe interaction 3s shown in eq. (3) and it can produce reliable vaIues of energy exchange probabikties for VV processes involving higher eilergy Ievels_ We shall now discuss the temperature dependence of energy eschange probabilities for u = S-15, for which the present approach appears to give satisfktory results. The temperature dependence of exothermic VV energy e.uchange probabdities determined over the range of IO0 to 3000 K is displayed in fig_ 2_ The figure shows that the dependence is in general signifkmr particularly for smaller values of u; for u = 8 it chsnges from 2.2 X IO-’ at 100 K to 3.1 X 10m7 Jt 3000 M, while the corresponding change for u = 15 is from 4.5 X IOm4 to 3.7 X 1O-1. However, an important resuit is that at a @en temperature nU probabilities of different u appear to merge above 1000 K. Based on this result we crtn predict energy exchange probabilities for u > I5 at such temperatures to be comparable to the corresponding values shown in fig_ 2; the estimation can be extended even to u < S at such temperatures. The probabilities at 1500, 2000 and 3000 K are appro.xi.mateiy 0_015,0_0?2 and O-035, respectively_ Note that above 2000 K the u = S probability becomes the smallest and the u = I5 probability the largest. but the difference is nor signitkmt. For the pureIy repulsive interaction, i.e., E’(r) = DA exp[(r, - r)la] and V’(r.xl.x,) = 0.4’ exp[(r,-r)fz].ulxu?. the quantity iG(-)I’ is simply [2rr&ol - ~2) A’/MwA ] 2 co& ff(E*l] cscha iZf(E*y] _Comparing thermal werage nrobabiiities obtained for this expression wit!1 the above result, we can detemline the effect of molecular attraction on VV energy exchange processes_ The appearance of g(E*) in eq. (I 5) is due to the contribution of molecular attraction to the collision trajectory, and it makes a large contribution to the overall value of PjF(7) prtrticularIy for Inrge u, where the productf(E*)g(E*) is large_ For example, for u = 10, the contribution of molecular attraction increases the energy exchange probability by factors of 34,7-I, 4.3,2_7, I .9 and 1.7 at 100,300, 500, 1000,200O and 3000 K, respectiveIy. For u = IS, the corresponding factors are 5 I, S.S,4.7.2.S, 1.9 and I-7. This comparison shows the major roIe of molecular attraction in the present energy exchange process; in particuisr the role of molecular attraction completely dominates the contribution of repulsive interaction at iow 25

temperatures (< 300 K) such that the overall process can be describgd in terms of the attmctive interaction alone_ Although the expression derived above does not app!y to the collisions involving lower energy levels, the extension of the mode! shows that for u= 2, the attractive interaction increases tire probability by 12,5-I, 3.6,2.5, 19 and l-7 at !00,300,500, !000,2000 and 3000 K, respectively_ Another interesting result is that for different u, t!re contribution of molecular attraction is to increase the probability by the same factor at Irig!1 temperatures; e-g_, the factor is ! 9 at 2000 K and is 1.7 at 3000 The present approach uses t!re intemction potentia! which is obtained averaging over molecular orientations, zrndintroduces the contribution of nonzero-impact parameter collisions. Therefore, the comparison of this resu!t with that of collinear co!hsions wi!! show the importrmce of molecular orientations and noncollinear collisions_ For the co!Iinear arrsngement C-O + C-O, assuming the nearest 0-C intemction is of on!y importance, we obtain WY.X!, x2) = DCexF[(r,-r)/al whkh
