O“ states

Actually, collisions in which tlie batli becomes vibrationally excited are relatively rare, occurring witli a typical probability of 1% per gas-kinetic collision [6, 8, H and 13]. More common are processes tliat produce rotational and translational excitation in tlie batli acceptor while leaving tlie molecule in its ground (vibrationless) OO O state. 

The effect of the presence of alkali promoters on ethylene adsorption on single crystal metal surfaces has been studied in the case ofPt (111).74 77 The same effect has been also studied for C6H6 and C4H8 on K-covered Pt(l 11).78,79 As ethylene and other unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules show net n- or o-donor behavior it is expected that alkalis will inhibit their adsorption on metal surfaces. The requirement of two free neighboring Pt atoms for adsorption of ethylene in the di-o state is also expected to allow for geometric (steric) hindrance of ethylene adsorption at high alkali coverages.

Now, we have besides the vibrational, the electronic angular momentum the latter is characterized by the quantum number A corresponding to the magnitude of its projection along the molecular axis, Lz. Here we shall consider A as a unsigned quantity, that is, for each A O state there will be two possible projections of the electronic angular momentum, one corresponding to A and the other to —A. The operator Lz can be written in the form...

Fluorescence from the Do and Di levels of Eu3+ in doped SrTiOa (cubic perovskite structure) has been observed [618]. The fluorescence decay from the 5Di level consists of radiative transitions to the 7F states and a nonradiative dominant transition to the 5Do level. The decay of the 5X>o state is mainly radiative and is composed of both zero-phonon and phonon-assisted transitions, the latter accounting for much of the temperature dependence of its lifetime. For temperatures upto 300° K, the decrease in the sZ>o lifetime has been correlated [618] with the increased intensity of the vibronic bands [619]. Both 5Z>o 7Fi and 5Do 7F2 transitions as well as 5Di 7F, bD - 7F2 and 5Z>o - 7F show vibronic structures at room temperatures [619] and below. 

The electromers differ drastically in their optical and ESR spectra. There is a rather small energy difference between them (ca. 1 eV). The authors conclude that the experimentally found energetic proximity of the two states is not an intrinsic property of the diaryldiazo cation radicals, but must be due to some solvent and/or counterion effects acting to preferentially stabilize the o-state by about 1 eV. These effects, however, failed to be identified in the quoted paper. We await further development of the problem.

In search for rotational bands on J O states in 19l,196Pb we have measured coincidences between y-rays following the 198Hg(a,xn) reactions and conversion electrons corresponding to E0q+ + transitions in these nuclei. 

Many radiation-induced redox reactions involve the removal of an electron from 02 which then becomes 0 . Such O states represent defect electrons or positive holes in an 02 sublattice. Having an unpaired spin they are paramagnetic. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is the... 

The hydroxyl concentration profile for a stoichiometric CH -air flame is presented in Figure 8. Here the maximum mole fraction observed and the predicted mole fraction are equal to better than 10% accuracy. The abscissas of the theoretical and the experimental results were matched by setting the theoretically predicted temperature equal to the measured hydroxyl rotational temperature. At all positions in the flame the hydroxyl 2j[(v,=o) state exhibited a Boltzmann distribution of rotational states. This rotational temperature is equal to the N2 vibrational temperature to within the +100 K precision of the laser induced fluorescence and laser Raman scattering experiments. An example of this comparison is given in Figure 9. 

About 20000 Ka events were recorded, which did not allow to determine unbiased the individual hyperfine components with an accuracy comparable to the one of the spin-averaged values. The errors for the 3S hyperfine state are of the order of 10% for the shift and 15% for the broadening and are consistent with the values given in [12] (Table 4). Parameters for the less intense bS o state could be obtained if the 3Si/1 So intensity ratio was fixed for the fit in accordance with reasonable assumptions for the different 2p-level widths [22]. An unbiased fit yields errors of the order of at least 50%. 

Notice The correction to the finite size of nucleus is included in corrections RMBPT, SE, VP and others but is not included in QED-INT. A correction NS in Table 1 is derived as the difference between corrections NS for 2pi/2 and 2si/o states of U91+.
