ENERGY TRANSFER REACTIONS INVOLVING METASTABLE SPECIES OF ATMOSPHERIC INTEREST.

Abstract

Energy transfer reactions of electronically excited atomic and diatomic species were studied. The excited species were created by vacuum ultraviolet irradiation of simple molecules, with image-tube spectrographs and filtered photomultipliers being utilized to detect and monitor emission features. Quantum yields for excited states were deduced from absolute intensity measurements. A pulsed photolysis-signal integration system was used to determine absolute rate coefficients for energy transfer reactions of O(singlet S), N2(A triplet Sigma(u)(+), and N(doublet D). O(singlet D) and CO(A singlet Pi) were also studied. Resonance fluorescence scattering was used to measure O(triplet P), CO(X singlet Sigma(+)), and NO(X doublet Pi(r)). (Author)
