I. Kamioka et al., TRANSLATIONAL ENERGY-DISTRIBUTION OF CO-PRODUCED IN INFRARED-LASER-ASSISTED REACTION OF O-2 WITH A GRAPHITE SURFACE, JPN J A P 2, 37(1AB), 1998, pp. 74-76
Infrared-laser-assisted reactions of O-2 With a graphite surface were
studied with laser-ionization mass spectroscopy. CO was observed as a
reaction product of O-2 and graphite. A time profile of CO was measure
d for the first time, and the mean translational temperature of CO was
measured to be 790 +/- 80 K. The translational temperatures of carbon
clusters of C, C-2 and C-3 evaporated from the surface were also meas
ured.
