Abstract

The energy relaxation of the lowest vibrational level (υ = 1) of liquid oxygen in the electronic ground state was investigated within a wide temperature range (53.4 K ⩽ T ⩽ 96 K). The relaxation time exhibits a peak value of τ′ ≈ 3.1 ms around 65 K and is shorter at lower and higher temperatures. The observed temperature behavior is discussed in view of theoretical models of energy relaxation in liquids.
