The present work points out the utility of infrared emission spectroscopy as applied to the study of the oxidation of metal surfaces. It is shown that good results can be achieved even with standard dispersion spectrophotometers. The work shows emission spectra obtained at a temperature of only 133°C from samples of about 380 A thickness and 2 cm2 area. The molybdenum oxides are particularly useful to test the capability of the infrared emission spectroscopy technique. The study of the behavior of the emission bands and the differences between the emission and absorption spectra show that this technique cannot only be an alternative to absorption spectroscopy, but also can give different data from those which can be achieved by the absorption technique. Spectra are recorded directly on the oxidizing sample. The increase in intensity and the change in the shape of the bands are monitored while the oxidation is performed. It is noted that with infrared emission spectroscopy, sample preparation is greatly simplified.

The application of monochromatic radiation pyrometry to measurement of plasma temperatures was investigated. Infrared emission and absorption spectra of nitrogen, argon, and helium plasmajets, with various admixtures, were measured. Strong infrared emission was observed in various lines and bands in the plasma spectra, extending from the visible region to 7.0 μ. The observed infrared absorption was generally low. Temperatures measured ranged from below 2000 deg K for a N2 plasmajet heavily seeded with CO2, to 13,000 deg K for pure Ar. Temperature gradients in a plasmajet were inferred from observations made through various regions of the jet.

Infrared emission spectra from metal samples with oxide surface layers are shown to be very advantageously studied using the spectrum-ratioing facility of a recording infrared interferometer. The emission from a given sample is ratioed against that from a black-body emitter at the same temperature so as to give emittance as a function of wavenumber directly. This method has very useful application to irregularly shaped metal emitters. In the absence of selective reflection there is a direct correspondence between emission and absorption spectra for thin layers of an emitting substance. However, the presence of selective reflection leads to reduced emission and to considerable differences in the appearance of “absorption” and emission spectra in regions of strong absorption. Emission spectra obtained from copper plates heated, above 150°C, for different periods in air are shown clearly to indicate the presence of cuprous, Cu(I), and cupric, Cu(II), oxides in the surface layer.
