✦ Synopsis
A LIF technique that employs a precisely positioned, varying view, field has been developed to give quantitative measurements for vibrational relaxation rates in supersonic jets of IZ(B, u' ~43) seeded in Ar, N, and CO. The multiple vibrational quantum transfer effect is very pronounced. In particular, for NZ and CO, the most probable relaxation pathway is no longer the Au= -1 process, which apparently violates the energy gap law. These observations are adequately explained by invoking the formation of a metastable complex.
