Infrared Emission and Atomic Transitions

Abstract

The general objective of this research project is to study radiative transitions in atoms and molecules especially those relevant to infrared radiation. Major efforts include (i) determination of optical emission cross sections for atomic oxygen transitions produced by electron-impact dissociation of O2, (ii) electron excitation from a metastable level to a higher level, (iii) excitation behaviors of Na atoms, (iv) production of excited N atoms b electron impact on N2.
