The dynamics of evaporation from a liquid surface

We explore the collisional energy transfer dynamics of benzene molecules spontaneously evaporating from an in vacuo water -ethanol liquid beam. We find that rotations are cooled significantly more than the lowest-energy vibrational modes, while the rotational energy distributions are Boltzmann. With...
