Three working gases were used: oxygen, oxygen–argon mixture and hydrogen. Concentrations of oxygen and hydrogen atoms were determined in a wide range of plasma parameters, with pressure ranging from 10 Pa to 70 Pa, applied power in the range from 50 to 250 W and at many different positions throughout the system (including the coil and afterglow in sample chamber). Concentrations of oxygen atoms were measured to be 1.3 × 1015 cm−3 in the middle of the coil and 4 × 1012 cm−3 in the regions of the chamber furthest from the coil. These spatially resolved concentrations are very important in plasma processing of materials, because radical concentrations over the sample determine plasma–material interactions. This work demonstrates that a relatively simple detection system can be practical and sufficiently successful in many plasma applications.

By closer inspection of absorption in the wavelength range corresponding to two-photon atomic Li(2s-3d), Li(2s-5d), Li(2s-6d) and quasiresonant Li(2p-4s) transitions we examine which of them could be candidates for observation of non-linear absorption by cavity ringdown spectroscopy.

A time-resolved technique has been used to measure the fluorescence from the Li(3D), Li(2P) and Li(3P) states. We have determined radiation rates for lithium atom densities in the range 1013-1014 cm-3 and laser powers (105-106 Wcm-2). The ground-state lithium atom

The main concern here is an understanding of interatomic interaction and collision dynamic in intermetallic systems. In the experiments, intermetallic vapors of amalgams are illuminated by a pulsed laser radiation. The reactive and non reactive energy transfer processes occur in the vapor or plasma, resulting with emission of the excited atoms and molecules. The analysis of the emission show a complexity of vapor and plasma conditions.Appropriate vapor mixture preparation, exciting laser wavelength selection and temporal spectral analysis allow discrimination among different collision processes. The photochemical reaction of excited alkali dimer with group IIB atoms, photoassociation of alkali and IIB atoms, quasi resonant and resonant alkali atom excitation with subsequent energy transfer to IIB atoms, are illustrated for Li-Zn and Li-Cd systems. Accompanying theoretical work provides interatomic potential energy curves necessary for interpretation of the observed emission. The emphasis is made on proper treatment of spin-orbit interaction which increases from Zn towards Hg. Recent calculation of potential energy surfaces for the Li2Zn system shows that exciplex can be formed in the excited state with considerable binding energy.

Temporal evolution of the fluorescence spectra is observed showing that different processes occur such as multiphoton excitation, collisional energy transfer, photochemical reaction, relaxation etc. Temporal change of the LiZn and LiCd blue-green diffuse bands spectral shape is observed and interpreted in terms of previous spectral simulations. The effective lifetimes of different spectral features are determined.

Time dependent fluorescence intensity from various lithium and cadmium atomic levels is measured. Solving a system of 11 rate equations simulates the time evolutions of corresponding atom densities in the lithium and cadmium atomic energy levels. From the best fit we estimate rate coefficient for radiative collision Li(2p)+Cd(5 1 So)+hv 67 o.8 forming Li(2s)+Cd(5 3 P 0).

Some molecular systems where photoassociation has been observed in the past may now be studied in much greater detail than ever before. The photoassociation from the weakly bound Cs2 molecules at elevated and ultra cold temperatures will form peculiar molecules in their excited states in the intermediate internuclear distances.
