Vibrational Energy Transfer in HF/DF - CO2 Chemical Laser Systems.

Abstract

The experimental method of laser induced vibrational fluorescence has been used to measure the overall rate, k(12), with which the (001) vibrational energy level of CO2 in the lowest electronic state is deactivated through collisions with DF and HF in their lowest electronic and vibrational states. The rate constants were measured both 75C and 100C at which temperatures the presence of dimers (D2F2/H2F2) were reduced to negligible proportions. (Author)
