A kinetic study of electronically metastable nitrogen atoms, N(2 2Dj), is presented. Metastable nitrogen atoms are produced by microwave discharge of N2 diluted in He in a fast flow system. The concentration of N(2D5/2i3/2) is monitored by using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Deactivation rate constants are reported for N(í)j) with the gases N20,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
