Recent studies of oxygen isotopes in meteorites are reviewed. Findings by many
researchers who have investigated the origin of the isotopic anomalies in oxygen, parent …

Six major types of isotope separation methods which involve plasma phenomena are
discussed. These methods are: plasma centrifuge, AVLIS (atomic vapor laser isotope …

A continuous wave carbon monoxide laser is used to excite the vibrational mode of CO in
CO/Ar and CO/N 2/Ar mixtures flowing through a gas absorption cell. High steady-state …

It is known that self-shielding of UV radiation by 16 O 2 produces selective isotopic effects
upon photodissociation. An analysis of this process and the chemical kinetics of isotopic …

In situ measurements of stratospheric ozone and laboratory studies of ozone production in
electric discharge through oxygen have shown previously that ozone containing heavy …

The nonequilibrium of vibrational energy modes of molecules is the basis for laser
oscillation in some of the most powerful gas lasers. Gas phase energy transfer processes …

We have observed enrichments of N15 as large as 21±1% in the mixed nitrogenous
products (NO, N2O, NO2) of the reaction of N2 and O2 driven by a pulsed glow discharge at …

The expanding use of nitrogen‐containing fertilizers in agriculture has led to an increase in
N2O, an important greenhouse gas and ozone‐depleting substance, since preindustrial …

The vibrations] distribution functions are analyzed theoretically for a binary mixture of
diatomic gases modeled by anharmonic oscillators. It is assumed that the conditions are far …

that emerges from these and related studies is one of extreme thermodynamic
disequilibrium with relatively low molecular kinetic temperatures, high electron …
