Reactions of UO(+) with Atmospheric Gases.
Abstract
The rate coefficient for the ion-molecule reaction of uranium monoxide ions with molecular oxygen at thermal energies has been measured using a 'magnetic bottle' apparatus. The UO+ ions were produced by the associative ionization reaction between U and N2O. The primary (UO+) and secondary (UO2+) ions were selected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer and their variations vs. O2 pressure were plotted on a X-Y recorder. The rate coefficient was determined to be 2.03 plus or minus 0.44 x ten to the minus 9th power cubic cm/sec. (Author)
