Nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium effects of vibrationally excited NO

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.464974

The vibrational distribution of NO(X ²?) from the reaction O(³P) + NO2(X ²A₁) -> NO(X ²?,v'') + O2 was studied at room temperature in a fast-flow system.Oxygen atoms were produced via the microwave-discharge dissociation of molecular oxygen with argon as the carrier gas.The reaction time between the NO2 molecules and the oxygen atoms was kept at ca. 3 ms to minimize vibrational energy quenching.NO(X) radicals were detected via laser-induced fluorescence of the A ²Σ⁺ <- X ²? electronic transition.The relative vibrational population ratio of NO inthe ground electronic state was determined to be 87.4 +/- 2.6percent and 12.6 +/- 2.7percent in the v'' = 0 and v'' = 1 levels, respectively.No higher vibrational states were observed.The NO vibrational population ratio measured in this study correlates well with the earlier obervation of high vibrational excitation in O2.
