Abstract
H 2-H collision-induced absorption spectra are computed for temperatures from 1000 K to 2500 K and frequencies from 100 cm -1 to 10 000 cm -1. The calculations are quantum mechanical and the isotropic potential approximation has been applied. The computed absorption in the fundamental band agrees roughly with the one determined by Patch (1974). However, the absorption in the translational band, which has not been obtained before, is significantly stronger than in the fundamental band.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
