Collision-induced light scattering spectra and ground state potential of gaseous xenon

Polarized and depolarized collision-induced light scattering spectra of xenon gas at room temperature 295 K with the pressure second virial coefficients, viscosity and thermal conductivity have been used for deriving the empirical models of the pair-polarizability trace and anisotropy and the interaction potential. Theoretical zeroth and second moments of the binary spectra using various models for the pair polarizabilities and interatomic potential are compared with the experimental values performed by Frommhold's group. In addition, vibrational energy levels, self diffusion coefficients and second virial dielectric constants calculated for these models are compared with experimental ones. The results show that these models are the most accurate models reported to date for this system. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
