High-Temperature Fast-Flow Reactor Studies of Metal Atom/N2O Chemiluminescence: The Reactions of Sn, Al, and Ba with N2O.

Abstract

The AeroChem high-temperature fast-flow reactor has been adapted for metal atom/N2O chemiluminescence measurements. Chemiluminescence in the 300-750 nm region from metal atom/N2O reactions has been studied in the AeroChem high-temperature fast-flow reactor at pressures from 1 to 50 Torr. All observed SnO emissions are to the X state; many A-X bands not previously reported have been identified. The results suggest the Sn/N2O reaction to be promising as a laser pumping system. No visible emission could be observed from Al/N2O. Specific recommendations for further studies are made based on these results and literature survey.
