Vibrational relaxation of NO by atomic oxygen

  • 1. Cambridge Univ. (UK). Dept. of Physical Chemistry

Description

A laser-induced infrared fluorescence method has been used to study the vibrational relaxation of NO by atomic oxygen, i.e. NO(γ = 1) + O → NO(γ = 0) + O (2). The NO was excited indirectly by vibrational-vibrational energy transfer from HCl(γ = 1), these molecules having been prepared using the output from a pulsed HCl chemical laser. The experiments yield: k2 = (6.5 +- 0.7) X 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at (296+- 3) K. (Auth.)
