Chemical Kinetics and Molecular Physics Pertinent to Proposed Mercury Dimer Lasers.
Abstract
Since the dimeric mercury molecule has several bound-excited electronic states, but a largely dissociative molecular ground state, It has been proposed as a molecular system for laser development. This note reviews much of the literature pertinent to the Hg2 system. Some of the topics reviewed include (1) band systems and potential energy curves, (2) chemical kinetics of dimer formation, (3) production of excited Hg atomic states, and (4) 4850A-band laser considerations.
