Absolute Absorption Coefficients of Nitrogen in the Vacuum Ultraviolet

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Absorption in nitrogen at wavelengths longer than 796A, the Worley-Jenkins Rydberg series limit 2g+, was found to be principally the result of band spectra, whereas below this limit continuous absorption set in, very rapidly reaching a first maximum of k=680 cm−1 near 760A and a second one near the limit of the Hopfield Rydberg series 2u+. From the appearance of the contour of the absorption continuum and from the intensity distribution of the preceding bands, one is led to believe that it was a composite one consisting of two ionization continua adjoining the two Rydberg series limits. The integrated absorption coefficient gave an f-value of 3.3 which was in agreement with the predicted value of 3.27 from classical electron theory. Between 796A and 661A some very large absorption coefficients were found with k=2.76×103 cm−1 because of the strong, diffuse bands in this region. Experimental results were internally consistent to about ten percent and Beer’s law was shown to be obeyed.
