Abstract

Chemiluminescence spectra and photon yields resulting from reactions of copper atoms with N₂O, O₂, NO, NF₃, SF₆, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, and I₂ have been obtained between 200 and 1100 nm. The most interesting feature of these spectra is the strong and peculiar emission from copper atoms observed in the Cu + NF₃ reaction; population inversion has been obtained between some of the Cu states and it is suggested that this is due to energy transfer from N₂(A) formed in the reaction to copper atoms.
