Metal Oxide Studies

Abstract

Emission and absorption spectra over mixtures of liquid uranium- urania have been obtained using the carbon-tube furnace facility. In the temperature range of approximately 2100C to 2400C a complex system of bands has been observed in the region of 4800 A to 7000A. The wavelength region from 5900 A to 6000 A is especially noteworthy since it contains a very intense highly dense band system. By comparison with the temperature coefficient of a known uranium line it was shown that the most intense feature in this region was due to either UO or UO2. Flame studies have been initiated using UF6 seeded into cyanogen/oxygen and hydrogen/nitrous oxide flames. Spectra of these flames have been observed and are completely different in nature from the furnace results. The oscillator strength of the (0,0) and the (1,1) band of the E singlet Sigma - X singlet Sigma transition in ThO has been obtained.
