Spectroscopic Investigations of Nonambient Systems with Millimeter and Submillimeter Probes
Abstract
The project, Spectroscopic Investigations of Nonambient Systems with Millimeter and Submillimeter Probes, addressed a broad range of scientific topics and technological developments important to this spectral region. For the purposes of this discussion, we have divided the report on research results into three parts: (1) Energy transfer in polyatomic molecules, especially those of importance in far infrared lasers; (2) Molecular collisional processes at very low temperature (5 K), and (3) Development and uses of millimeter and submillimeter technology. Also included is a list of personnel who worked on these projects. This project addressed the development and use of spectroscopic techniques for the study of molecular systems under nonambient conditions. Emphasis was placed on the use of millimeter and submillimeter spectroscopic methods as diagnostic probes of these environments although many of these techniques are also applicable in other spectral regions. In some cases, the mm/ submm spectral region was especially advantageous for the work while in others it was merely convenient because of our experience and equipment base in this part of the spectrum.
