Vibrational Energy Exchange Between Gases and Solids

  • Chapter
Nonequilibrium Phonon Dynamics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIB,volume 124))

Abstract

The interest in the subject of gas-surface collisions and energy transfer between gases and solids has much increased during the last two decades in connection with aerospace research. Under rarified-gas conditions, where the mean free path of gas molecules is much larger than any characteristic surface length scale, the gas-surface interaction is no longer governed by boundary layer or bulk flow effects, but depends strictly on individual collisions between the gas molecules and the solid surface.1 More recently, the inelastic scattering of atoms from solid surfaces has become a powerful tool for surface phonon spectroscopy. A by-product of such spectroscopic studies is the direct measurement of the energy exchanges with individual modes of the vibrational spectrum under selected kinematic and temperature conditions.
