Spectroscopy of Diatomic Molecules at Long Range

实验物理化学计划支持教授 Stwalley和Lyyra博士在一个合作的光谱 研究双原子分子在很远的距离。 这些 研究非常适合研究这些基本过程 如光解离（键断裂）和缔合电离 （通过电子损失形成键）。 信息正在 根据长程相互作用对碰撞的影响得到的 动力学 激光被用来制备碱性双原子分子， 长距离和探测随后的解离或 电离过程 受激辐射离解，一种新的 光-光双共振组合技术 光谱与受激发射泵浦，正在 开发用于精确控制远程参数的 钠二聚体的激发态研究 在大的核间距状态混合。

The Experimental Physical Chemistry Program supports Professor Stwalley and Dr. Lyyra in a collaborative spectroscopic investigation of diatomic molecules at very long range. These studies are well suited for studying such fundamental processes as photodissociation (bond-breaking) and associative ionization (bond-forming through electron loss). Information is being obtained on the effects of long range interactions on collision dynamics. Lasers are being used to prepare alkali diatomic molecules at long range and to probe the subsequent dissociation or ionization processes. Stimulated radiative dissociation, a new technique combining optical-optical double resonance spectroscopy with stimulated emission pumping, is being developed to precisely control the parameters of long range excited states of sodium dimers for studies of nonadiabatic state mixing at large internuclear distances.
