Vibrational relaxation data are surveyed in order to provide the rates of vibrational energy
transfer for processes important in the CO 2-N 2 laser. A kinetic model is assumed for the …

A full time-dependent kinetic study is presented for the main microscopic collisional and
radiative processes underlying the optical flashes associated with an impulsive (τ= 5 µs) …

We review here observations and models related to the chemical and thermal structures,
airglow and auroral emissions and dynamics of the Venus thermosphere, and compare …

The CO2-laser technology may be considered the most advanced in the laser field.
Research has been stimulated strongly because of its high potential for many scientific and …

The kinetic theory of gases and low-temperature plasmas is reviewed and applied to the
study of physical processes in molecular lasers. Theoretical considerations include …

The subject of air pollution monitoring is reviewed. First, we discuss the main conventional
techniques currently applied to the detection of gaseous air pollutants, as well as the state of …

The cross section for the near‐resonant transfer of vibrational energy from CO2 (001) to N2
(0), CO2 (001)+ N2 (0)→ CO2 (000)+ N2 (1)+ ΔE, is calculated for the isotopes N 2 14 (ΔE …

The dissociation of CO 2 and the formation of CO, O 3, and O 2 were studied in a dielectric
barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure by means of ex-situ infrared absorption …

The backscattering method is employed to obtain microscopic information about solid‐solid
reactions of Si with thin layers (500–2000 Å) of both vacuum‐evaporated Au and sputtered …

The rate constants associated with the deactivation of vibrationally excited CO 2*(ν 3) by
collision with either CO2 or N2 have been experimentally determined from 300°–1000° K by …
