Energy Transfer Reactions of Excited Atoms and Molecules.
Abstract
Five main areas have been investigated: (1) observations of the three metastable states of O2 with excitation energies between 4 and 5 eV have been made in afterglow systems, (2) a new energy transfer process has been discovered in the NO molecule; (3) using the H2 laser, direct observations were made of o(1D) radiation at 6300 A from O2 photodissociation; (4) the product channels for the quenching of O(1S) by O(3P) have been investigated; and (5) quenching of O(1S) by the species in an oxygen-helium afterglow gives convincing evidence that the most important quenching molecule is O2, with a rate coefficient of approximately gas kinetic collision frequency.
