Abstract

Differences between vibrational and rotational relaxation patterns disappear and similarities are revealed by transforming from state to energy distribution. This follows from the constant state density of both oscillators and rotors and the exponential gap law governing their relaxation. A simple, parameter-free, rotational model which agrees well with previous results is formulated.
