Abstract

A model for (indirect) dephasing of a high-frequency vibrational mode caused by intramolecular anharmonic coupling to a low-frequency vibration is proposed which is an extension of the exchange model of Anderson and Kubo. It contains apart of the frequency shift of the combination band and the lifetime T*1 of the low-frequency mode, the dephasing of the high, the low, and the combination band. T*1 is determined by resonance energy transfer and population decay processes. Theoretical estimates are compared with experimental data on a CH3 stretching mode of CH3CCl3.
