“…The multiple photon dissociation (MPD) of polyatomic molecules has been studied by several authors. − We have studied the MPD of pure CF 3 Br and mixtures with monatomic (He, Ar, and Xe), diatomic (H 2 , D 2 , and N 2 ), and polyatomic (CF 4 ) gases. , The experiments were carried out by irradiating with a transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) CO 2 laser, at different temperatures, pressures, and fluences. Mixtures of CF 3 Br with different gases − have also been studied by MPD, following the effect of the presence of these gases on the carbon-13 enrichment. They observed that the enrichment factor tends toward 1 as the total pressure increases, when irradiating with laser lines between 1035 and 1050 cm -1 , as we do.…”
