Buffer-gas-induced collision shift for theSr88S10−P31clock transition

Resonance transition 795-nm rubidium laser using He buffer gas

Resonance transition rubidium laser (5P1/2→5S1/2) is demonstrated with a hydrocarbon-free buffer gas. Prior demonstrations of alkali resonance transition lasers have used ethane as either the buffer gas or a buffer gas component to promote rapid fine-structure mixing. However, our experience suggests that the alkali vapor reacts with the ethane producing carbon as one of the reaction products. ...

Bioreactor Scale-up for Water-Gas Shift Reaction

A scale-up study has been performed with three different size reactors to establish the optimum operating conditions for the hydrogen production from synthesis gas by biological water-gas shift reaction using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodosprilliunt rubrum. Optimum medium composition and operating conditions previously determined in a bench scale 1.25 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR...

Buffer-gas-induced absorption resonances in Rb vapor

We observe transformation of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance into an absorption resonance in a L interaction configuration in a cell filled with Rb and a buffer gas. This transformation occurs as one-photon detuning of the coupling fields is varied from the atomic transition. No such absorption resonance is found in the absence of a buffer gas. The width of the abso...

Collision induced processes at the gas–surface interface

The collision of energetic gas phase particles with adsorbed species can induce a variety of processes. Events of this kind can play an important role in the mechanisms governing heterogeneous catalysis at high pressures and elevated temperatures. Two collision induced processes (CIP) are described in this article. The first process discussed is collision induced desorption (CID). The CID of N2...
