Isolation of Boron and Carbon Atoms in Cryogenic Solids

Abstract

Outline: Theoretical Isp of cryogenic solid propellants composed of the atoms, dimers and trimers of lightweight elements isolated in solid para hydrogen. Consequences of condensation; Spectroscopic studies of Boron/Carbon clusters by matrix isolation spectroscopy; Development of stable, hi-flux boron atom source for preparation of cryogenic solid HEDM (under auspices of Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program; First optical spectrum of B3 (under auspices of International Research Initiative of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research).
