摘要
Rotation-vibration transitions of methane molecules embedded in parahydrogen crystals were investigated through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Each transition shows extremely sharp peaks with a Lorentzian line shape profile, which indicates the spectra are free from inhomogeneous broadening. The steep temperature dependence of the linewidths observed in the range between 3.7 and 8.5 K is interpreted to be a result of the pure dephasing relaxation mechanism. A remarkable difference in population relaxation widths between stretching and bending vibrational excited states was also found.
