CO2–CO2 and CO2–Ar continua at millimeter wavelengths
2020
Abstract Broadband spectra of the continuum absorption in pure CO 2 gas and its mixture with Ar are studied at room temperature using a resonator spectrometer within 105–240 GHz. The expected pressure and frequency dependence is observed. The obtained data are validated by two independent calculations of the interaction-induced absorption using a semiclassical trajectory-based method. The observed continuum is interpreted in terms of bimolecular absorption, including a significant contribution from true bound dimers. A simplified formula describing both frequency and temperature dependency of the CO 2 –Ar continuum within a frequency range from 60 GHz to 450 GHz at temperatures from 200 K to 400 K is suggested for use in atmospheric studies.
