Induced absorption in carbon dioxide has been studied at a frequency of 9260 Mc/sec over the temperature range 270°—500°K and to pressures as high as 95 atm. Since the dielectric loss ϵ″ is expected on the basis of the dispersion relations to be proportional to frequency throughout the microwave region the data has been fit with an expansion in the amagat density ρ of the form ϵ′′/ = Aρ2+Bρ3, where is in wavenumbers. It is found that A=2.5(1)×10−8(T/273)−3.0(1), and B/A=−1.05(8)×10−2(T/273)−2.3(3). The molecular quadrupole moment calculated from the first coefficient of the dielectric loss A is then 6.7×10−26 (esu).
The purpose of The Journal of Chemical Physics is to bridge a gap between journals of physics and journals of chemistry by publishing quantitative research based on physical principles and techniques, as applied to "chemical" systems. Just as the fields of chemistry and physics have expanded, so have chemical physics subject areas, which include polymers, materials, surfaces/interfaces, and biological macromolecules, along with the traditional small molecule and condensed phase systems. The Journal of Chemical Physics (JCP) is published four times per month (48 issues per year) by the American Institute of Physics.
The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit membership corporation created for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. It is the mission of the Institute to serve the sciences of physics and astronomy by serving its member societies, by serving individual scientists, and by serving students and the general public.
As a "society of societies," AIP supports ten Member Societies and provides a spectrum of services and programs devoted to advancing the science and profession of physics. A pioneer in digital publishing, AIP is also one of the world's largest publishers of physics journals and produces the publications of more than 25 scientific and engineering societies through its New York-based publishing division.
