Abstract
For the purpose of desymmetrizing classical, computed profiles, we use the Egelstaff time transformation for both the translational and the rotational collision-induced absorption profiles of pairs of linear molecules. For simplicity, we assume an isotropic interaction potential, so that the translational and rotational motions are not coupled. Comparison of the desymmetrized, classical profiles with quantum computations show a high degree of consistency, and seem to suggest a broader applicability of our approach, perhaps even to the important case of anisotropic interactions. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
