Summary

The decrease of the absorption strength of 73 cm−1 line in polyethylene and the strong antiresonance occuring above 310 K at the high frequency wing of the line are explained by assuming a Fanto type coupling between the 73 cm−1 phonon and a continuum of infrared active vibrational modes. The parameters determining the line shape are deduced from experimental absorption curves and conceivable coupling mechanisms are discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Die Abnahme der Absorption der 73 cm−1-Bande in Polyäthylen und die starke Antiresonanz, die oberhalb 310 K auf der hochfrequenten Seite der Bande einsetzt, werden erklärt durch Annahme einer Fano-Kopplung zwischen dem 73 cm−1-Phonon und einem Kontinuum von infrarot-aktiven Schwingungsmoden. Die Parameter, die die Linienform bestimmen, werden aus den experimentellen Absorptionskurven abgeleitet und Kopplungsmechanismen diskutiert.
