Using this spectrometer, laser vaporized metals (Ca and Sr) react with reactants such as D2), NH3 and HOCH3 and, because of the cooling effect of the supersonic molecular beam, rotationally resolved spectra can be obtained for some larger molecules.application/pdf3865092 bytesapplication/pdfenCopyright: 1997, Zhao, Chunfeng.
