Electronically Excited Metal Atoms Produced by Chemical Reactions.

Abstract

The report briefly describes research on two types of highly exoergic chemical reactions. These reactions are reactions of metal dimers with halogen atoms and reaction of carbon atoms with metal oxides. Experiments were completed on the reaction of thallium with fluorine. Chemiluminescence was observed both from thallium atoms and electronically excited TlF molecules. Preliminary experiments were also started on the reaction of carbon with metal oxide.
