Abstract

We calculate the line widths for the self-broadening of the microwave spectrum of oxygen taking into account simultaneously quadrupole–quadrupole and dispersion interactions. Our theoretical results are compared with the more recent experimental results. A good agreement is obtained between them if the oxygen quadrupole moment is taken as Q = 1.21 ± 0.05 D Å.
