State dependent angular distributions of Na2 molecules in a Na/Na2 free jet expansion
Description
This paper studies the spatial distribution of sodium dimers (Na2) experimentally in the first part of a free jet expansion of sodium vapor, using laser induced fluorescence. Angular intensity profiles have been measured for several (v,j) states of the molecules. Their features turn out to be very different, depending on the values of v,j and the stagnation pressure P0. These results allow one to get some insight into the various relaxation- and freezing-processes taking place in the expansion
