"The work of Noid et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 1977, 67, 404] has shown that sharp molecular spectra can be obtained through a Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of a classical trajectory. In the present work, we extend this idea to obtain a spectrum by Fourier transform of the dipole moment function of collision product trajectories," researchers in the United States report.
"We show that this ''classical collision spectrum'' (CCS) is related to the cross section for creating the product times an Einstein A factor, As a test case, we analyze product CO trajectories obtained from O + CO collisions at 8 km/s and focus on the spectral resolution of the ...
