Abstract
ground vibrational state can be characterized by simple analytic functions of a single quantum number N in place of the usual three vibrational quantum numbers v , v2, and v3. These functions also apply to liquid H20 excitations with slightly altered parameters and probably to the solid state. These correlations should permit us to utilize gas-phase charged-particle energy degradation techniques to study the thermalization of low-energy electrons in liquid water which arise as secondary, tertiary, etc., particles from any type of primary ionizing radiation. Liquid water is a useful surrogate of biological matter, and an understanding of the thermalization of low-energy electrons in water should help achieve a fundamental understanding of the biological effects of ionizing radiation. ? 1987 Academic Press, Inc.
