Abstract

In the crossed atomic and molecular beams the chemical reactions of ytterbium and europium atoms with HCl molecules were observed at the laser excitation of atoms. At the excitation of ytterbium metastable states3P0and3P2an indicated amount of the reaction product was increased by a factor of three as compared to the case of3P1state excitation.

In the Crossed atomic and molecular beams the chemical reactions of ytterbium and europium atoms with HCI molecules were observed at the laser excitation of atoms. At the excitation of ytterbium metastable states 3po and 3P2 an indicated amount of the reaction product was increased by a factor of three as compared to the case of 3P1 state excitation.

Laser-induced atomic-molecular reaction between atoms of the rare-earth metals ytterbium and europium and HCI molecules

Chemical reactions between ytterbium and europium atoms and HCI molecules were recorded in crossed atomic and molecular beams when the atoms were excited by laser radiation. When the 3P0 and 3P2 metastable states of ytterbium were excited, the quantity of reaction products was three times that when the 3P1 state was excited.

Collisions and half-collisions with lasers

N. K. Rahman, Carla Guidotti

Merging two subfields, collisions and spectroscopy, this book presents the latest research proposals, innovative experiments and fresh ideas. Topics considered include radiative collision induced electron continuum-continuum scattering; models of laser-induced chemical reactions; experimental studies of laser-induced ionizing collisions; laser photodissociation of Na/sub 2/ + ions produced by laser resonant ionization of Na vapor; steady-state electron-atom collision in a laser field; conditions for the observation of the predicted splitting of the laser assisted electron impact of the differential cross section of atoms; transitions between resonances; some proposals for experiments; above-threshold multiphoton ionization; observability of optical collisions in the frequency and the time domain; laser switched collisions - a diagrammatical approach; polarization of atomic fluorescence excited by molecular photodissociation; multiphoton selective excitation; on the role of chaotic dynamics with many basins of attraction; predissociation in a strong electromagnetic field; theory of double resonance; and coherent excitation of polyatomic molecules up to highly excited vibrational states by laser light.

Formation of slow molecules in chemical reactions in crossed molecular beams

Timur V. Tscherbul, Ğirts Barinovs, Jacek A. Kłos +1 more

We demonstrate that chemical reactions in collisions of molecular beams can generally produce low-velocity molecules in the laboratory-fixed frame. Our analysis shows that collisions of beams may simultaneously yield slow reactant molecules and slow products. The reaction products are formed in selected rovibrational states and scattered in a specific direction, which can be controlled by tuning the kinetic energies of the incident beams and the angle between the beams. Our calculations indicate that chemical reactions of polar alkali-metal dimers are barrierless and we suggest that chemical reactions involving alkali-metal dimers may be particularly suitable for producing slow molecules in crossed beams.

Laser-induced collisional autoionization in europium and strontium atoms

Roberto Buffa

An experiment that involves laser-induced collisional autoionization in europium and strontium atoms is proposed and the spectral line shape of the cross section is calculated on the basis of data available in the literature. The feasibility of the experiment both in oven cells and in a crossed-atomic-beam geometry is discussed.

Observation of Light-Induced Collisional Energy Transfer

Ph. Cahuzac, P. E. Toschek

We have observed light-induced energy transfer in collisions of Eu atoms in three excited levels with Sr ground-state atoms and compared its spectra with the results of calculations. A four-photon parametric process in the transient Eu-Sr molecule was also observed.
