THE A-X TRANSITION IN Ar.NO AND PROGRESS IN THE ZEKE SPECTROSCOPY OF Ar.NO VIA THIS ELECTRONIC STATE

Abstract

Recent work in our laboratory has concentrated upon the study of the Ar.NO complex using resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy. The spectrum of the A-X transition, although simple in appearance, is difficult to interpret; progress in this interpretation will be given. The transitions observed in the REMPI spectrum have been used in order to record zero-kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron specta, and recent result on these experiments will be given.
