Examples of diatomic

• The remainder of the chapter introduces the reader to the theory of diatomic molecules in laser fields.

• The first two of these exist as diatomic gases at room temperature, and the latter two form diatomic vapors at moderately elevated temperatures.

• High harmonic generation in atomic and diatomic molecular gases using intense picosecond laser pulses-a comparison.

• This gives a relatively simple three-species gas mixture, of the type used in experimental facilities, which allows dissociation and recombination of the diatomic species.

• This result is similar to that for a diatomic molecular ion.

• This suggests that the fragment ions are ejected in opposite directions and the molecule behaves as a diatomic in the intense laser field.

• Of course, electron and ion collisions with diatomic molecules have not been considered, which would accelerate dissociation.

• However, no consideration is made for diatomic molecules.

• The molecule hence seems to behave as a diatomic, with the fragment ions being ejected along the field direction.

• To give it its technical description, it is a blue gaseous allotrope of oxygen derived or formed naturally from diatomic oxygen by electric discharge or exposure to ultra-violet radiation.

• In this reaction a hydrogen atom is removed from the alkane, then replaced by a halogen atom by reaction with a diatomic halogen molecule.

• The newly formed diatomic molecules initially have a very high vibrational temperature that efficiently transforms the vibrational energy into radiant energy; i.e., radiative heat flux.

• Oxygen is the only one of the simple diatomic molecules (and one of the few molecules in general) to carry a magnetic moment.

• For a diatomic molecule, the geometry is defined by the length of a single bond.

• In the vapour phase it is a diatomic molecule.
