Quantum property of solid hydrogen as revealed by high-resolution laser spectroscopy
Pure vibrational overtone transitions of solid parahydrogen were studied using high-resolution laser spectroscopy. Extremely narrow spectral linewidth (~20 MHz) allowed us to observe rich spectral structure that originates in subtle intermolecular interactions in the crystal. It was found that aniso...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | Pure vibrational overtone transitions of solid parahydrogen were studied using high-resolution laser spectroscopy. Extremely narrow spectral linewidth (~20 MHz) allowed us to observe rich spectral structure that originates in subtle intermolecular interactions in the crystal. It was found that anisotropy of the distribution of zero-point lattice vibration of hydrogen molecules perturbs the energy levels of the vibrationally excited states significantly. Large amplitude of the zero-point lattice vibration being an intrinsic nature of quantum solids, was directly observed from the present high-resolution spectroscopy. The first observation of a pure vibrational overtone transition of solid orthodeuterium is also discussed. |
