Physical Chemistry of Energetic Nitrogen Compounds

Abstract

This report describes progress made during a 39-month research program that investigated the NCl/I laser system, the deposition of nitride films from group III azides, and the dynamics of near-resonant laser sputtering. Significant results included the evaluation of excited NF as an energy carrier for atomic iodine lasers, measurement of the rate of energy transfer between vibrationally excited nitrogen and chlorine azide and development of a model for the chain decomposition of chlorine azide, the deposition of boron nitride and gallium nitride thin films from boron and gallium azide precursors, the identification of NNBN as the product of boron triazide decomposition and a likely building block for BN films, and the observation of thermal energy charge transfer in the near-resonant laser sputtering of zinc atoms.
