RESEARCH DIRECTED TOWARDS THE STUDY OF ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE, BAND INTENSITIES AND MODES OF EXCITATION OF MOLECULAR SPECIES.

Abstract

The experimental research programme embraces studies of: Intensity measurements on molecular band systems; Identification atlas of molecular spectra; Shock tube spectroscopy of powdered solids; Plasma jet spectroscopy; Ion beam spectroscopy; X-radiolysis of gases; Impact flash spectroscopy; Laser excitation of powdered solids. The theoretical research programme embraces studies of: Molecular potentials and vibrational wave functions; Derived quantities of vibrational Wave functions; Atomic collisions. Results of this research are reviewed with particular emphasis to applications to upper atmospheric physics. A list of the 35 papers resulting from the work is included.
