Kinetics Important to the Development of Chemical Lasers.
Abstract
An infrared chemiluminescence technique has been used to measure the rates of the following energy transfer reactions at 295 plus or minus 5K: (a) HF(v) + CO2 to HF(v - 1) + CO2 for v = 1,2,3,4,5; (b) DF(v) + CO2 to DF(v - 1) + CO2 for v = 1,2,3,; (c) HF(v) + HF to HF(v - 1) + HF for v = 2,3,4,5,; and (d) DF(v) + HG to DF(v - 1) + HF for v = 1,2. The rate constants for reactions (a), (b), (c), and (d) may be used in kinetic model analyses of hydrogen fluoride and related lasers. A very brief discussion is given of new aspects of the chemistry of excited states important to the development of chemical lasers. (Author)
