Relative reaction rates in rotational and vibrational excitation of N2(C 3u) by Ar*(3P0 ) and Ar*(3P2) metastable atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 The energy transfer reaction between Ar(3P0), Ar(3P2) and molecules of N2 was studied in the afterglow of a pulsed electrodeless discharge. The population decays of the metastable argon atoms and the intensity decays of the nitrogen second positive emission bands were monitored simultaneously. A dye laser was used to selectively depopulate each metastable argon species and the relative variations were checked on the intensity of the nitrogen second positive bands. Relative reaction rates in rotational and vibrational excitation of N2(C 303A0u) by Ar(3P0) and Ar(3P2) were obtained.

Production of argon metastable atoms in high pressure (20-300 Torr) microwave discharges
2014 The production of Ar(3P2) metastable atoms has been determined in high pressure (20-300 Torr) and low power (5-30 W) argon 2.45 GHz microwave discharges. The following plasma parameters have been measured : the gas temperature, deduced from the rotational spectra of CN radical in impurity in argon, was found between 380 K (20 Torr, 5 W) and 840 K (300 Torr, 30 W) ; the Ar (3P2) concentrati...
متن کاملThe partitioning of energy amongst vibration, rotation, and translation during the dissociation of p-difluorobenzene–Ar neutral and cation complexes
The dissociation dynamics of p-difluorobenzene–Ar and p-difluorobenzene–Ar have been investigated from the 5 level in S1 and the 292 level in D0 , respectively. The technique of velocity map imaging has been used to determine the translational energy release distributions. In the case of 5 p-difluorobenzene–Ar, dispersed fluorescence spectra provide the distribution of vibrational energy in the...
متن کاملDiagnostic Line Ratios for Highly Ionized Ions of the Beryllium Isoelectronic Sequence and a Comparison with Solar Observational Data
Observations of the relative line strengths of Beryllium like ions in a high temperature plasma can be used to derive the electron temperature and density of the emitting region through diagnostic line ratios [1,2]. However, to calculate such ratios reliably, accurate atomic data must be employed, especially for the electron impact excitation rates of the relevant transitions [3]. In this paper...

We report measurement of the inelastic and elastic collision rates for Sr atoms in the (5s5p)3P0 state in a crossed-beam optical dipole trap. This is the first measurement of ultracold collision properties of a 3P0 level in an alkaline-earth atom or atom with similar electronic structure. Since the (5s5p)3P0 state is the lowest level of the triplet manifold, large loss rates indicate the import...

Radiative decay from the excited 1P1 state to metastable 3P2 and 3P0 states is expected to limit attainable trapped atomic population in a magneto-optic trap of ytterbium (Yb) atoms. In experiments we have carried out with optical repumping of 3P0,2 states to 3P1, we observe enhancement of trapped atoms yield in the excited 1P1 state. The individual decay rate to each metastable state is measur...
