Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Molecular and Ionic Impurities Embedded in Solid Hydrogen

Abstract

The research involved high resolution infrared spectroscopy to measure (1) the crystalline field and intermolecular interactions in solid hydrogen coupled with a variety of methods (bombardment by high energy electrons and gamma-ray irradiation) to energize and ionize solid hydrogen and obtain solid plasmas. Simultaneous absorption and stimulated Raman measurements are reported. (2) the infrared spectrum of the trimer hydrogen ion (protonated hydrogen). A review was completed of the spectroscopy of H3+ and of its occurrence and importance in laboratory and space plasmas.
