QUANTITATIVE STUDIES BY OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY OF ENERGY EXCHANGE MECHANISMS IN SIMPLE GASES AND SOLIDS
Abstract
Work has continued in three general directions: condensed phase experiments, emission studies of SiN and N2(+), and plasma analysis. Improvements in apparatus allowed measurement of free carrier mobilities in solid and liquid argon and krypton. As a preliminary to the study of scattering processes, using laser beams, in liquids and van der Waal's solids, equipment and techniques were developed, which allowed observation of Raman and Brillouin scattering in CS2 and benzene liquids. Charge transfer processes in the benzeneiodine complex are being studied at low temperatures using absorption methods. The study has continued of flowing gas systems where the initiating energy source is an electrical discharge. The addition of volatile silicon compounds to active nitrogen has yielded new information on the electronic states of SiN. In a study of N2(+), a detailed perturbation calculation on the mutual interaction between the v = 1 level of the B(2)& state and the v = 11 level of the A(2)pi state were completed. Populations of vibrational and electronic states of N2(+) excited in a helium afterglow were obtained over a large pressure range.
