Collision-induced emission from O(1S) by He, Ar, N2, H2, Kr, and Xe

Abstract
Collision‐induced emission from O(1S) has been studied for collisions with He, Ar, N2, H2, Kr, and Xe. The O(1S) was made by CO2 photodissociation at 1120 Å and N2O photodissociation at 1290 Å. For all but Xe the emitted intensity (including both atomic line and associated molecular bands) increased linearly with the added gas pressure. This was not true at low pressures of Xe—the observed behavior in this case was used to deduce the rates for formation and collisional dissociation of XeO.
