[Research on the emission spectrum of NO molecule's γ-band system by corona discharge].

The optical emission spectrum of the gamma-band system of NO molecule, A2 sigma+ --> X2 pi(r), has been analyzed and calculated based on the energy structure of NO molecule' doublet states. By employing the theory of diatomic molecular Spectra, some key parameters of equations for the radiative transition intensity were evaluated theoretically, including the potentials of the doublet states of NO molecule's upper and lower energy levels, the electronic transition moments calculated by using r-centroid approximation method, and the Einstein coefficient of different vibrational and rotational levels. The simulated spectrum of the gamma-band system was calculated as a function of different vibrational and rotational temperature. Compared to the theoretical spectroscopy, the measured results were achieved from corona discharge experiments of NO and N2. The vibrational and rotational temperatures were determined approximately by fitting the measured spectral intensities with the calculated ones.

[Investigation on spectrum of B 2sigma(+)-X 2sigma+ and C 2pi(r)-X 2sigma+ bands of AlO radical in shock tube].

There are some impurities such as aluminum dioxide adhering on the shock tube wall due to the ablating and heating of the aluminum diaphragm by high temperature gas. Under high temperature, the collision of AlO radicals with the gaseous molecules leads to transition of the electronic states and production of strong radiation, which disturb the analysis of radiation spectrum of heated gases in shock tube. In the authors' experiments, the air in the test section with adhering aluminum dioxide was heated to some 4 000-7 000 K, the spectrum of AlO radical was obvious in the range of 460-530 nm, which corresponds to B 2sigma(+)-X 2sigma+ (T00 = 20 689 cm(-1) band. There were several band heads for this band, the interval of neighbor heads was some 2 nm, and all the band heads were with the shortest wavelength. The characteristics of B 2sigma(+)-X 2sigma+ band were explored in experiment and by theory. In addition, the spectrum of C 2pi(r)-X 2sigma+ (T00 = 33 047 cm(-1)) band was also investigated. The corresponding strength was lower than that of B 2sigma(+) -X 2sigma+ band, and the wavelength range of this band was some 270-335 nm where the radiation of A 2sigma(+) -X 2pi (T00 = 32 682 cm(-1)) band of OH radical also existed. This occurrence of the two bands in the same wavelength range is disadvantageous for the spectrum analysis.
