Photodissociation Dynamics in a Pulsed Molecular Beam.

Abstract

The ArF laser photodissociation of C2N2, C1CN and BrCN have been studied in a pulsed beam. Comparisons are made between these results and the radical product distirbutions measured in an effusive beam. Comparisons are also made between the effects of cooling by expansion in argon and expansion in methane. The later is known to more effectively cool vibrational modes in the parent molecule.
