The A0+ state of NaI was investigated towards the minimum of its potential using laser-induced fluorescence and Λ-type double resonance spectroscopy via the covalent C0+ state, because significantly different potential functions were proposed in the literature due to missing spectroscopic data. The vibrational interval νadia = 135–282 measured previously by Schaefer et al. was extended to vibrational levels as low as νadia = 40. Transitions to lower levels are masked by the very strong C0+–B1 transition. An improved potential curve for A0+ was derived. The uncertainty by the unknown lowest vibrational levels is discussed. A comparison of the new curve with others reported in the literature is given.

AbstractLaser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is an ideal technique to determine the gas phase concentration of the chemically reactive radical species in processing plasmas. Quantitative species concentration measurements require spectroscopic and collision dynamics data. Experiments to obtain such data for the B2 and Σ+ B′2 Δ states of SiCl are described. Using LIF, the transition strengths, radiative lifetimes, and collisional removal rates are determined. Collisional transfer between the two excited electronic states, B′→B, shows a very unusual quantum state specificity for the final vibrational levels which is quite different for each of the rare gas collision partners (He, Ne, Ar). Such energy transfer makes the B′2 Δ state unsuitable for quantitative LIF diagnostics; however, the B2Σ+ state appears to be an ideal excited state for LIF diagnostic measurements in silicon etching plasmas.

Two excimer lasers of the automatic pre-ionization type have been constructed. To avoid impurities, the two series of condensers were placed outside the discharge chamber. Using one of these devices we have observed a new ultraviolet (UV) continuum from a discharge through a He–O2 mixture at 900 Torr. The continuous nature of this emission was assured by the observation of almost 80 absorption bands of the O2 Schumann-Runge system arising from highly excited vibrational levels and of some OH bands in the A–X system. The same type of discharge through pure He emits no continuum but some OH bands. The time dependence of the light pulses was studied to infer the origin of the continuum. Based on these observations, we show that the strong absorption in the B–X, 0–2 band of the XeCl laser is due to the P11, Q13, and Q13′ lines in the 0–0 band of the OH A–X system; the estimated intensity of this absorption amounting to 5–7% of the total intensity of the XeCl laser. The XeCl spectra were photographed on an E1 quartz spectrograph and in the third order of a 6.65 m grating.

The laser-induced fluorescence of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] transitions of Na2 are analysed, using high resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Fixed-frequency ion-laser lines (4880 and 4765 Å (1 Å = 10−10 m) from Ar+ and 6471 and 4762 Å from Kr+) together with laser frequencies from a ring dye laser, using rhodamine 6 G with λ = 5781.22 and 5796.80 Å, were used to excite Na dimer in the gas phase. Twenty-eight series of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems have been assigned and analysed, and the strong transitions are accompanied by numerous rotational relaxation lines. Molecular constants of the [Formula: see text] state were calculated with high precision from simultaneous least-squares fits to 1410 lines assigned to the A–X and B–X systems. These constants have been used to determine the Rydberg–Klein–Rees potential curve of the X ground state for vibrational levels up to ν = 62.

Abstract The cross sections for the two-step process, represented by the electron-impact vibro-electronic excitation $$X^1\varSigma ^+(v) \rightarrow A^1\varSigma ^+(v'')$$ X 1 Σ + ( v ) → A 1 Σ + ( v ′ ′ ) of the LiH molecule, followed by radiative decay back on the vibrational manifold of the ground state, $$A^1\varSigma ^+(v'')\rightarrow X^1\varSigma ^+(v')$$ A 1 Σ + ( v ′ ′ ) → X 1 Σ + ( v ′ ) , are calculated as a function of the incident electron energy from the threshold to 1000 eV. The final cross sections for the two-step process, which results in an overall vibrational excitation of the molecule, known also as E-v process, are provided for all the possible $$v,v'$$ v , v ′ transitions among the vibrational levels, including the continuum, of the electronic ground state.
