Dynamics of the Chemistry of Electronically Excited Atoms in Defined Quantum States.

Abstract

The deactivation of I(5 2 P1/2) by HBr and DBr has been shown to proceed via chemical reaction to form HI or DI + Br(4 2 P3/2). The corresponding deactivation by Br2 appears to result in the production of electronically excited Br(4 2 P1/2) as the result of an adiabatic reaction, suggesting the possible construction of a chemically pumped bromine atom laser. The photodissociation of Br2 has also been investigated and relative intensities of transitions into the B 3 pi 0 (+)u and 1 pi 1 u states determined. (Author)
