R. Olszewski et M. Zubek, A study of electron impact excitation of the A(2)Sigma(+) state of nitric oxide in the near-threshold energy range, CHEM P LETT, 340(3-4), 2001, pp. 249-255
Excitation of the Rydberg A(2)Sigma (+) state of nitric oxide has been stud
ied by electron impact in the energy region from threshold to 15 eV using a
n optical method. Absolute emission cross-sections of 13 bands of the gamma
-system (A(2)Sigma (+) --> X-2 Pi (r) transition, and integral cross-secti
ons for excitation of the nu = 0 and 1 vibrational levels of the A(2)Sigma
(+) state have been determined. Emission spectra of nitric oxide have been
also obtained for selected values of incident electron energy. (C) 2001 Pub
