Infrared Studies of Molecular Ions in Labortory and Space Plasmas and In Cryogenic Solid

小行星9321913 这项工作继续成功地观测和分析了它们在行星电离层和可能在超新星1987A中的H3+强红外发射。将继续努力在其他天体，特别是分子云中寻找H3+光谱。实验和理论研究将尝试使用热实验室等离子体和新的近红外激光器沿着中红外激光源。两个新的放电细胞将用于识别分子离子的新光谱。一个确定的努力将作出识别质子化甲烷和氧气的光谱使用空心阴极放电池在磁场中。此外，将介绍一种新的离子光谱学方法，使用电离的低温固体代替热等离子体。来自60Co的伽马射线将用于分解仲氢晶体以形成原子和离子簇。 傅里叶变换光谱仪和可能的激光光谱仪将用于观察它们的红外光谱。如果成功，该方法将通过在晶体中引入其他分子作为杂质而扩展到其他簇离子。 ***

9321913 Oka This work continues the success efforts to observe and analyze their strong infrared emissions of H3+ in planetary ionospheres and possibly in supernova 1987A. The effort will be continued to find the H3+ spectrum in other astronomical objects, especially in molecular clouds. The experimental and theoretical studies will be attempted using hot laboratory plasmas and new near infrared lasers along with midinfrared laser sources. Two new discharge cells will be used to identify novel spectra of molecular ions. A determined effort will be made to identify spectra of protonated methane and oxygen using a hollow cathode discharge cell in a magnetic field. Furthermore, a new method of ion spectroscopy will be introduced using ionized cryogenic solids instead of hot plasmas. Gamma rays from 60Co will be used to ionize para-hydrogen crystals to form atoms and ion clusters. A Fourier transform spectrometer and possibly laser spectrometer will be used to observe their infrared spectra. If successful, the method will be extended to other cluster ions by introducing other molecules in crystals as impurities. ***
