Collisionless Intramolecular Vibrational Relaxation in SF6

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 4))

Abstract

There has always been great interest in the limits of applicability of statistical mechanics. For example the point is often made that statistical concepts describe macroscopic systems very well. On the other hand, a tiny dynamical system such as a single isolated molecule may behave in a non-ergodic manner.
