Tunable Laser Fluorescence Method for Product State Analysis

Ultrafast Molecular Reaction Dynamics in Real-Time: Progress Over a Decade

“…In addition to the large number of crossed molecular beams and chemiluminescence studies, an expanding literature of crossed molecular beam-laser results has probed dynamics via careful analyses of product internal energy (vibrational and rotational) distributions and steady-state alignment and orientation of products (1,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Approximate lifetimes of the collision (or half-collision) complexes and rates of the reactions have been derived from measurements of the steady-state angular distribution or alignment, and from linewidths of spectroscopic transitions in a number of cases (1,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21).…”

Application of a new method to the determination of rate constants: Examination of the effect of noise on the data

“…Since none of the analytical solutions of the rate equations for A, B, and C have terms whose time dependence is governed by only k 1 or k 3 , the values or the ratio of k 1 and k 3 are difficult to determine by nonlinear analysis. The present method, on the other hand, gives the following regression equations in the same manner as it gave eqs.…”

Theory for determining alignment parameters of symmetric top molecule using (n+1) LIF

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The laser-induced fluorescence ͑LIF͒ has been widely used to probe the alignment and orientation of molecular angular momentum. [21][22][23][24][25] Several typical theoretical approaches have been used to extract alignment or orientation parameters from measured LIF intensity or two-photon absorption spectroscopy. Zare and co-workers [26][27][28][29] used the spherical tensor formalism to study the determination of product population and alignment.…”
