We present a detailed analysis of the rotational excitations of the linear OCS molecule solvated by a variable number of para-hydrogen molecules (9 < or = N < or = 17). The effective rotational constant extracted from the fit of the rotational energy levels decreases up to N = 13, indicating near-rigid coupling between OCS rotations and para-hydrogen motion. Departure from rigidity is instead seen for larger clusters with 14 < or = N < or = 17. Path-integral Monte Carlo calculations show that the N dependence of the effective rotational constant can be explained in terms of a partial superfluid response of para-hydrogen to rotations about an axis perpendicular to the OCS axis. Complete para-hydrogen superfluid response to rotations about the OCS axis is found for N > or = 10.
我们对由可变数量的对氢分子(9≤N≤17)溶剂化的线性OCS分子的转动激发进行了详细分析。从转动能级拟合中提取的有效转动常数在N = 13之前减小,这表明OCS转动与对氢运动之间存在近乎刚性的耦合。相反,对于14≤N≤17的较大团簇,可以看到偏离刚性的情况。路径积分蒙特卡罗计算表明,有效转动常数的N依赖性可以通过对氢对绕垂直于OCS轴的轴的转动的部分超流响应来解释。当N≥10时,发现对氢对绕OCS轴的转动有完全的超流响应。
