Influence of temperature on the quenching of active nitrogen at various pressures

Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Effect of heating active nitrogen has been investigated at various streaming pressures in the range 15 to 33 mm. Hg by observation of its after-glow visually and excitation of the iodine luminiscence. It is found, it would appear for the first time in this field of research that the quenching of the after-glow is produced at a well-defined temperature, which increases with increase of the gas pressure. Existence of a glowless but chemically active form of nitrogen is considered improbable.
