History of the AFRL/USC DARPA Program on Polynitrogen Chemistry
Abstract
In 1986, Air Force started the High Energy Density Matter (HEDM) Program. Original focus: CBES (Chemically Bound Excited States), meta-stable helium, cryo-solids, and among other things, theoretical studies on polynitrogens and polyoxygens. In 1998, Henric Oestmark approached DARPA to fund an experimental study in polynitrogen chemistry. Henric Y's proposal was reviewed at AERL, and DARPA was convinced to sponsor a broad program iii polynitrogen chemistry involving 8 research grotips, inclnding AERL.
