Abstract

In a Knudsen flow of polyatomic molecules, polarization of the angular momenta can occur due to non-spherical molecule-surface interactions. The polarization has been studied by observing a change in the particle flux caused by the precession of the molecules in an external magnetic field. It is show how the experimental results as a function of field orientation and field strength allow a determination of the type and magnitude of the polarization. The experimental technique is described and results are given for N2 flowing through a Au-coated channel at 300 K. It is found that the dominant types of polarization are Jy and JxJz, where x is the flow direction and z is the normal to the surface.
