Abstract
Reported are calculations of rotational energy transfer in collisions of Cl2 molecules with a rigid, smooth surface, using both sudden approximations and quasi-classical trajectories. High probabilities are found for very large Δj transitions compared to corresponding gas-phase collisions: thus molecular collisions with walls can be extremely efficient in producing rotational transitions.
