An Investigation Of The Effect Of High Temperature On The Schumann-Runge Ultraviolet Absorption Continuum Of Oxygen, John Stanton Evans

Masters Theses

A theoretical and experimental investigation of the absorption coefficient of molecular oxygen at high temperature is reported here. The wavelength range covered is in the vacuum ultraviolet region from 1300 A to 1740 A. The theoretical treatment covers all temperatures from 300° to 10,000° K. The experimental investigation was carried out in the temperature range of 4,000° to 10,000° K. All values of the absorption coefficient found apply only to oxygen for which the vibrational degree of freedom is fully excited.

The final results for the high temperature absorption coefficient as a function of temperature and wavelength are listed in …
