Abstract:The photofragnentation dynamics of ammonia molecules following pulsed UV laser excitation of ground state to the two lowest levels ν′2 = 0 and 1 (ν2 vibrational mode) of their ?1(A"2) electronic excited state has been investigated by monitoring thetime-of-flight spectra of the nascent H-atom products. The spectra confirm recent revised estimates of the quantity D00(H-NH2) = 4.645 eV and reveals that the majority of the accompanying NH2 (X2B1) fragments are formed vibrationally unexcited, but with high levels o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
