CH(A²Δ—X²Π) Emission in Ar^* (4³P_2.0)—H₂CO Collision

抄録

Thermal inelastic collision between argon metastables (4³P₂, ³P₀) and formaldehyde was studied by steady-state flowing afterglow (SFA) method. It was found by spectroscopic observation that excitation of CH radicals to the A²Δ, v′=0 state was involved in the reaction process. The rate constant for production of CH (A²Δ, v′=0) was measured as 2×10⁻¹² cm³ sec⁻¹.
