Description
Photons in Vacuum Ultra Violet spectrum are able to deposit high enough energy to bend carbon from CO2 and or allow oxygen to roam among molecule for ease of dissociation. VUV experiment relies on second VUV pulse to further ionize carbon giving more time to allow atoms to separate, UC. Davis.
Background
| Evidence for direct molecular oxygen production in CO2 photodissociation (VUV) | http://science.sciencemag.org/content/346/6205/61.full | C.Y. Ng | UC Davis | 5% yield from dual pulsed Vacuum Ultra Violet light to ionize to specific oxygen resonate states in CO2. CO2 energized to "roam" to COO and bend before ionization and dissociation. |
