Abstract

Abstract Starting from the isolated-binary-collision hypothesis, simple explicit expressions for the vibrational energy relaxation time in liquids are obtained. We stress the role of soft repulsive forces and of anisotropic interactions. In both cases, deviations from a model developed by Delalande and Gale, assuming an attractive hard-sphere potential, are obtained and discussed. The specific case of liquid HCl and DCl is treated as an application.
