Discussion The overall energetics for the reaction N+ CH3-*• products are summarized in
Figure 3. Among the three possible channels, reaction 2 on the triplet surface seems to be …

Femtomolar concentrations of hydrogen fluoride, a decomposition component of nerve
agents, were detected using a SiO2 microcantilever. The microcantilever underwent …

Saturation effects in gas-phase degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) are investigated for
conditions of interest for diagnostic applications in flames and plasmas. In particular, the …

We report investigations of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) line intensities in the A^
