 | The recently completed research program at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Edwards AFB Site, had as its goals for the component dealing with solid-gas generation of singlet delta oxygen: a) construction of a Raman diagnostic system for the simultaneous measurement of excited and ground state oxygen in gas-solid reactions between solid peroxides and hydrogen halides or chlorine gas, b) exploration of alternate singlet delta oxygen sources, and c) technical chemistry ... |

| Spontaneous reactions between solid alkali metal or alkaline earth peroxides and hydrogen (deuterium) halide gases demonstrate the efficient production of singlet delta oxygen in a non-liquid medium. These reactions occur under ambient conditions without the need for any external energy source. The production of singlet delta oxygen was verified by direct emission spectroscopy at 1.27 microns with a calibrated optical multi-channel analyzer. These reactions overcome the severe quenching problems encountered ... |

 | excimer lasers are currently being utilized as a means of photofragmentation and fragment excitation for chemical detection purposes. in the case of small hydrocarbons, this phenomenon is generally not well characterized and is poorly understood. experiments aimed at a better understanding of the interaction of simple carbon-containing molecules with the arf(193-nm) excimer laser and at exploring the potential analytical applications of this process are described.

| Excimer lasers are currently being used as a means of photofragmentation and fragment excitation for chemical detection purposes, as well as for activation of reactive mixtures. In the case of small fuel molecules, this phenomenon is generally poorly understood and needs to be studied further. This report, therefore, describes experiments aimed at a better understanding of the interaction of simple carbon-containing fuel molecules with the ArF excimer laser, particularly with ... |
