Kinetic Aspects of Gas Phase Metal Atom Oxidation Reactions.

Abstract

The oxidation of Ge and Sn by various gases including N2O, has been studied by flash photolysis at room temperature and the kinetics determined. The rate of Sn + N2O is probably too slow to permit construction of a chemical laser based on this reaction. A new set of techniques involving laser pumping of alkaline earth atoms is also described which will permit the study of the kinetic behavior of their low-lying excited levels in bimolecular collisions.
