Investigation on the Thermionic Detection of Photoionization Spectra of Caesium Vapours

Abstract: A caesium filled thermionic diode, working in the space charge limited mode, is used for obtaining further data on the mechanism of photoionization in caesium vapours. Particular emphasis is given t o molecule photoionization, in the wavelength range of higher membem of the principal series, the corresponding cross-section being estimated at 7. 10-18 cm% for 3257 A. The ions formed at a relative large distance (a few cm). fiom the thermionic detector are found to contribute substantially in the spaae charge ne… Show more

“…Argon at a pressure of p(Ar)~l torr was used as foreign gas to protect the cell windows. Highly excited neutral bismuth atoms were ionized by collisions in the vapor cell just as in a thermionic diode [8]. The Rydberg states were produced in the common focus of two N2-1aser pumped dye lasers which was located between two electrodes with a separation of 5 mm.…”

“…The experimental arrangement is shown schematically in figure 1. The electrode structure of the detector has been described previously (Popescu et al 1966) and comprises a 0.2 mm diameter tungsten wire (electron emitter) mounted at a distance of about 1 mm from a silver plate (electron collector). The emitter temperature W i r e 313 chosen was such as to ensure a convenient space-charge-limited mode, corresponding to a high-sensitivity detection of photo-ions, which also did not induce significant concentration and temperature gradients in the diffusion region.…”

“…De modo geral, muitos artigos dentre os citados acima e até mais recentes 21 consideram o trabalho de Green et al 22 , em 1976, como um marco decisivo no desenvolvimento da espectroscopia optogalvânica. No entanto, é preciso considerar os trabalhos pioneiros dos pesquisadores romenos [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] que desenvolveram e aplicaram sistematicamente este tipo de espectroscopia pela primeira vez em 1964, e que continuaram a empregá-la, juntamente com Collins et al [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] . Esta técnica, denominada por eles de espectroscopia de impedância óptica, juntamente com o trabalho de Green et al 22 , passou a ser conhecida como espectroscopia optogalvânica.…”

“…O uso sistemático do efeito optogalvânico como um novo princípio para espectroscopia de absorção começou em 1964 com trabalhos de pesquisadores romenos [23][24][25]27,31 envolvendo descargas de baixa potência em vapores de metais alcalinos, onde as transições associadas às séries de Lyman, Balmer, Paschen e Pfund foram resolvidas, sendo usado um diodo termiônico como detector, o qual mostrou alta sensibilidade para detecção dos íons formados na descarga. Assim Badareu et al 23 adicionaram mercúrio sobre vapor de césio, sendo observado um aumento na eficiência de ionização destes.…”
