THE NEAR ULTRAVIOLET BANDS OF N2+ AND THE DISSOCIATION ENERGIES OF THE N2+ AND N2 MOLECULES
Keyword(s):
The ultraviolet emission bands of N2+ have been photographed using a six meter grating, and a number of new bands of high vibrational quantum number have been found. It has been possible to show that the [Formula: see text] state dissociates at a limit 70,358 cm.−1 above the ground state. It is shown that these results give strong support to the value 9.75 electron volts for the dissociation energy of nitrogen, but the lower value of 7.37 electron volts cannot be eliminated with certainty. The peculiar manner in which the B2Σ state converges to its dissociation limit is interpreted as being caused by an interaction between the [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text] states.
