Laser-induced plasma spectroscopy in near vacuum ultraviolet using ordinary spectrograph and ICCD

2002

An experimental setup to measure laser-induced plasma emission spectra with an ordinary Czerny-Turner spectrograph and intensified charge-coupled device in the near vacuum ultraviolet down to 130 nm is described. Spectra of bromine, chlorine and iodine were recorded to demonstrate the performance of the setup.

Electrodeless HF-lamps as UV and VUV light sources

2002

The paper is devoted to problems of employment of high- frequency electrodeless lamps as ultra violet (UV) and vacuum ultra violet (VUV) light sources. Some aspects of lamp preparation technology for UV and VUV are considered. The technology, developed in our laboratory, allows to prepare HFEL-s filled with wide spread of chemical elements. Our experience shows that most important filling elements for UV and VUV spectral regions are Zn, Cd, Hg, Se, As, Sn and Pb, Sb, Bi, Tl, Te, I, H, Hg-Cd, Hg-Zn, Se-Te. The requirements for generators are discussed. Some important spectral characteristics of lamp examples are presented.

Evidence of delocalized excitons in amorphous solids

2010

We studied the temperature dependence of the absorption coefficient of amorphous ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ in the range from 8 to 17.5 eV obtained by Kramers-Kronig dispersion analysis of reflectivity spectra. We demonstrate the main excitonic resonance at 10.4 eV to feature a close Lorentzian shape redshifting with increasing temperature. This provides a strong evidence of excitons being delocalized notwithstanding the structural disorder intrinsic to amorphous ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$. Excitons turn out to be coupled to an average phonon mode of 83 meV energy.

Vacuum-ultraviolet absorption of amorphousSiO2: Intrinsic contribution and role of silanol groups

2008

We present a study on the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) absorption properties of amorphous ${\text{SiO}}_{2}$ $(a{\text{-SiO}}_{2})$ with high concentrations of silanol groups (Si-OH). We found that the absorption spectra are made up of a couple of exponential profiles. The first, in the range from $\ensuremath{\sim}7.5$ to $\ensuremath{\sim}8.1\text{ }\text{eV}$, was attributed to Si-OH group absorption, while the second, in the range from $\ensuremath{\sim}8.1$ to $\ensuremath{\sim}8.25\text{ }\text{eV}$, was ascribed to the intrinsic absorption. The VUV absorption cross section of Si-OH groups in $a{\text{-SiO}}_{2}$ was determined as well. The intrinsic absorption was found to be affected by…

Study of Gasdynamic Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasma Vacuum Ultraviolet Emission to Optimize Negative Hydrogen Ion Production Efficiency

2019

Negative hydrogen ion sources are used as injectors into accelerators and drive the neutral beam heating in ITER. Certain processes in low-temperature hydrogen plasmas are accompanied by the emission of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) emission. Studying the VUV radiation therefore provides volumetric rates of plasma-chemical processes and plasma parameters. In the past we have used gasdynamic ECR discharge for volumetric negative ion production and investigated the dependencies between the extracted H$^-$ current density and various ion source parameters. It was shown that it is possible to reach up to 80 mA/cm$^2$ of negative ion current density with a two electrode extraction. We report experime…

Detection of Interstitial Oxygen Molecules in SiO2Glass by a Direct Photoexcitation of the Infrared Luminescence of SingletO2

1996

The presence of interstitial oxygen molecules in glassy ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ has been demonstrated directly by 1064.1 nm $({\ensuremath{\nu}}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{'}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}({\ensuremath{\nu}}^{\ensuremath{'}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1)$ excitation of the forbidden ${O}_{2}$ molecule $^{1}\ensuremath{\Delta}_{g}({\ensuremath{\nu}}^{\ensuremath{'}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{3}\ensuremath{\Sigma}_{g}({\ensuremath{\nu}}^{\ensuremath{'}\ensuremath{'}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0)$ luminescence transition at 1272 nm in S…

2000

We report on lifetime measurements of the 3d(5)(S-6)4s4p(P-3)y P-6 degrees states of Fe II using time-resolved vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser spectroscopy. A laser-produced plasma has been used as the source of free Fe+ ions. The tunable VUV radiation was obtained employing resonantly enhanced sum-difference four-wave-mixing of short laser pulses. We obtained tau((6)P(3/2)degrees) = 3.90(20) ns, tau((6)P(5/2)degrees) = 3.80(20) ns and tau((6)P(7/2)degrees) = 3.65(20) ns.

Specific UV and VUV spectra light sources

1997

The report contains information about laboratory made radiofrequency powered electrodeless discharge sources (lamps) of resonance atomic spectra radiation for various elements (e.g. Hg, Cd, Zn, O, S, Se, Te, As, Sb, Bi, J, Br, Kr, Xe, H) having main spectral lines in UV and VUV region. There are known, and can be found a lot of new specific applications of such sources in laboratory made or commercial optical devices.

A theoretical study of the rotational structure of the ϵ(0,0) band of NO

2009

This study has been focused on the ϵ(0,0) band of the nitric oxide molecule, associated with the absorption electronic transition D2Σ+X 2Π, in the energetic vacuum ultraviolet region. A temperature of 295 K has been considered. The Molecular Quantum Defect Orbital (MQDO) methodology, with which reliable spectroscopic data have been reached in the γ(0,0), δ(0,0), and δ(1,0) bands of the same molecule, has also been used for these calculations. We hope that the present results might be of straightforward use in atmospheric and interstellar chemistry. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2010
