Laser Spectroscopy of Transient Molecules Important In Explosions.
Abstract
We have observed the high-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the N-H 2 C-H 2 Mg-H 2 Ne-H(+), Cu-H 2, C-P and P-H molecules. The technique of Fourier transform detection of laser-induced fluorescence was applied to free radicals in order to simplify the complex emission spectrum of CCN. A free radical jet source was utilized with a Fourier transform spectrometer to obtain the ultracold emission spectrum of CH N and CD N. A large number of metal-containing free radicals such as calcium nitracarbonate, CaNNN, CaC5H5 and CaOR were discovered by laser-induced fluorescence. Keywords: Calcium compounds; Free radicals; Explosions; Fourier transform spectroscopy, Detonations, Laser-induced fluorescence.
