Vibrationally excited molecules in the gaseous phase relax to the ground state by the processes of emission, vibrational–translational energy transfer, and energy transfer during wall collisions. A method is described for measuring the efficiencies of wall collisions in degrading particular vibrations. Results are given for the ν3 states of methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide on a surface of polished sodium chloride.
