Application of Broida oven, laser photolysis and laser photolysis/vaporization techniques to synthesize these transient species has significantly enlarged the number of reports over the past few years. This research group’s contribution to the area have been a series of reports by Robles, Ellis and Miller detailing electronic and vibrational structures (~.5 cm-1 resolution) of 15 species of the form M-R (M = Mg, Ca, Zn and Cd; R = cyclopentadienyl (Cp), pyrollyl (Py) and methylcyclopentadienyl (MCp)) and M-CH3 (M = Ca, Zn and Cd), many of them observed for the first time.1-8 These molecules are more than simply novel constructs. The methyl and Cp derivatives are recognized as important intermediates in metal deposition processes while the metal-Py species are found as subunits in several chemical substances of biological importance. Metal-ligand bonding sites, vibrational frequencies, spin-orbit splittings and barriers to internal rotation are some of the types of information that this work has yielded. To augment this work, a rotationally resolved study is presented here which confirms the electronic state symmetry assignments given in earlier studies, and more importantly, determines rotational constants and other interaction parameters of these radicals.","PeriodicalId":109383,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Spectroscopy","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127413480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important question for understanding the balance of O3 in the upper atmosphere is the lifetime of these highly vibrationally excited molecules which are proposed2 to be a photolytic source of odd oxygen atoms. In this work we report the rate constants for the collisional deactivation of SEP prepared O2(v\"=18-25) by O2(v\"=0), at temperatures of 295 and 395 K. The experiments are analogous to the \"Pump\", \"Dump\" and \"Probe\" studies carried out by Yang et al on NO.3 A pulsed tunable Argon Fluoride laser is used to \"PUMP\" O2 from \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 X\u0000 3\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Σ\u0000 u\u0000 −\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 ground electronic state to a specific rovibrational level of the \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 B\u0000 3\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Σ\u0000 g\u0000 −\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 excited electronic state via the well known Schumann-Runge bands4. A Xenon-Chloride pumped tunable dye laser system then stimulates, or \"DUMPS\" the O2 back to a specific excited rovibrational level of the ground electronic state. A second tunable dye laser system then \"PROBES\" the vibrationally excited O2 population by Laser Induced Fluorescence. By varying the time delay between the DUMP and PROBE lasers, the time dependant occupation of the prepared vibrational level is monitored. The collisional quenching rate constant for a given vibrational level is then determined from the pressure dependance of the lifetime. Implications of the measured rates for atmospheric chemical reactions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":109383,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Spectroscopy","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128151123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most fascinating characteristics of these odd clusters is their unusual bending motion. C3, for example, has long been known to possess an extraordinarily low frequency, high amplitude bending mode, and indeed all of these linear chains are characterized by low bending frequencies.","PeriodicalId":109383,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Spectroscopy","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115759846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the Tamm states found crosses the Fermi energy in the energy gap when the depletion effect, resulting from dangling bonds, defects, impurities, etc, near the surface increases.

A number of additional free carbines which might be detected in space are considered. There are at least two reasons why carbenes are comparatively conspicuous in astronomical sources relative to other reactive molecules: one is their high polarity; a second is their production via the same ion-molecule reactions that make known stable species in space (or very similar reactions). Finally, it is pointed out that cumulene carbon chains somewhat longer than those so far detected in space are promising candidates for the carriers of the interstellar optical diffuse bands.","PeriodicalId":109383,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Spectroscopy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130569260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The enhancement process originates from two contributions: First, excitation of SP at pump frequency (ωi) and second, excitation of SP at Stokes frequency (ωs). To get the strongest Raman signal, scattered light must be detected on the prism side [3]. Indeed, the collected light comes from the outcoupling of SP at the Stokes frequency. In an experiment of SPERS, the Raman intensity depends on the distance of the active molecules to the metal surface [2]. Moreover, it has been suggested [3] that the thickness of the metal film deposited onto the prism should also be taken into account if one wants to improve the limit of detection.","PeriodicalId":109383,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Spectroscopy","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121559842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
