Spectroscopy of Dimers

Abstract
The method of Stogryn and Hirschfelder, which divides two‐particle phase space into bound, metastable, and free particle parts, is applied to the statistical averages which determine the first three spectroscopic moments of ``collision‐induced'' far‐infrared and Raman spectra. Numerical results are presented for a number of models of noble gas systems. It is shown that for some systems, but not all, dimers make important, although not necessarily well‐separated, contributions to the spectrum.
