We have observed molecular absorption to the red of the Mg+(32S~/2-32P~) atomic resonance lines. Notably, the reactive daughter ion (MgD+) is the only fragmentation product clearly observed in this spectral region. The molecular absorption profile consists of a seven-membered progression of discrete vibrational transitions with decreasing vibrational spacings from 489 to 314 cm-I, superimposed on a broad continuum background.

Such methods are ideal for qualitative and quantitative understanding of reactive transition states, including especially non-adiabatic interactions and polarization, orientation and alignment effects. Experiments at Iowa include a variety of such studies with alkali-metal and alkaline-earth metal atoms, e.g. diatomic photodissociation (including state-selected photodissociation through quasibound resonances) and reactive transition-state absorption. In each case theoretical information is available concerning the relevant potential-energy curves (or surfaces) and their couplings, and there are approximate dynamical theories (e.g. orbital locking) to be tested. A summary of recent experimental results and theoretical comparisons emphasizing diatomic photodissociation and its relation to transition state absorption will be presented.

These collision-induced dipole absorption bands peak very near the resonance position of the strictly forbidden calcium 4s2 1S0-4s 5s 1S0 transition. The band profiles for CaAr, CaKr, and CaXe show evidence of steplike or oscillatory structure which is not easily explained. These observations are contrasted with other studies of collision-induced absorption in alkali/rare gas and alkaline earth/rare gas molecular systems.

The results are consistent with the suggestion that the far-red-wing profile in the MgH2 case is dominated by absorption leading to the nonradiative reactive exit channels. Theoretical spectral profiles based on available potential-curve data indicate quite reasonable agreement with the experimental results.

This process constitutes the half-collision analog of K*+K scattering through a precisely quantum-state-selected orbiting resonance. The final atomic-state alignment depends sensitively on the parity of the excited continuum state. The experimental results show excellent agreement with theoretical calculations.

Because these minerals are strong visible absorbers they play a critical role in determining the overall impact of dust aerosol on climate forcing. In this work, results from light scattering measurements from hematite and goethite dust aerosol are presented for three visible wavelengths, l=470, 550, and 660 nm. We observe important systematic differences in the scattering between these different iron oxide samples, as well as significant wavelength dependence across the visible region of the spectrum. Aerosol size distributions are measured simultaneously with the light scattering, enabling a rigorous comparison between theoretical light scattering models and experimental data. Theoretical simulations of the scattering are carried out using both Mie and T-Matrix theories. Simulations are in reasonably good agreement with experimental data for hematite; thus, our data offer a useful check on tabulated optical constants for hematite. However, simulations show very poor agreement for goethite. The poor agreement in the goethite case is likely the result of particle shape effects related to the rod-like morphology of the goethite particles. This study demonstrates how particle mineralogy and morphology play an important role in dictating the optical properties of mineral dust aerosol, a major component of tropospheric dust.

Significant fluorescence was found only from Na2 and K2. Six fluorescent series in the A1Sigmau+-X1Sigmag+ system of Na2 and three in the B1Piu-X1Sigmag+ system of K2 were assigned, respectively. New spectroscopic constants for the X1Sigmag+ state of 39K2 are derived, and new RKR

Six series of 'LiD and eight of 6LiH were excited by a frequencydoubled dye laser pumped by a frequency-doubled YAG laser. These observations have provided experimental data to compare with previous theoretical transition probabilities (W. T. Zemke, K. R. Way, and W. C. Stwalley, J. Chem. ). Excellent correspondences between the observed fluorescence intensities and the theoretical results have been realized.

Experimental results are shown to be consistent with the assumed bound–free 2 3&amp;amp;amp;Pgr;g–1 3∑+u excitations. It is found that for Rb2 and Cs2, spin–orbit interactions become so significant that the 2 3&amp;amp;amp;Pgr;g state is strongly split into three quite independent component states.

Observation of alignment in the initial state ͑from the photopreparation steps͒ and in the photofragment ͑from the photodissociation step͒ provides detailed insight into the dynamical evolution. Excellent agreement between the theoretical calculations and the experimental results is shown.

The apparatus uses an elliptical mirror and CCD camera to image the full angular scattering range simultaneously. An in-line aerodynamic particle sizer (APS) in the particle flow stream provides for the simultaneous measurement of the aerosol particle size distribution. This apparatus allows for a comparison of measured optical properties with theoretical model calculations based on the measured aerosol size distribution. The system was calibrated and tested using monodisperse polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres and with ammonium sulfate (AS) aerosol. We have also used the apparatus for measuring the scattering phase function and linear polarization for light scattering from irregular quartz aerosol particles. Our results show that Mie theory substantially overestimates the backscattering cross-section for quartz particles in the size parameter range X$2-4, in agreement with previous experimental work and theoretical modeling studies. We also present a normalized synthetic phase function for quartz dust aerosol in the accumulation mode size range (0.1-2.0 mm). r

Optical remote sensing techniques are often used to estimate aerosol loading, composition, and size distributions. However, these techniques are dependent on an accurate knowledge of the optical properties of the aerosol, which are dependent on the aerosol composition and particle shape. In this work we measure the light scattering phase functions, linear polarizations, and the IR absorption of atmospherically relevant mineral dust aerosol. We explore the possibility of using IR spectral line profiles to infer mineral aerosol particle shape distributions which can then be used in T-Matrix calculations of the phase function and polarization of the scattered light. This has allowed for better agreement with the experimentally measured scattering than was obtained using a more limited range of particle shapes. This research aims to reduce uncertainties in remote sensing measurements by allowing for an independent check of particle shapes.
