A graphite sample has been irradiated with a YAG laser under an argon atmosphere. The emission due to the C2(d 3Î gâ a 3Î u) Swan band was observed with a decay time 20 times the intrinsic lifetime of C2(d 3Î g). In the presence of benzene, which reacts with C1, the observed decay time of the C2 Swan band decreased with increasing benzene around the graphite. Furthermore, the reaction products between benzene and C1 or C2 were identified and their distribution varied remarkably with benzene concentration. From these results, the simplest growth process of carbon clusters, 2C1â C2, was confirmed experimentally. Comparing the emission spectra from the irradiated graphite surface under an argon atmosphere and under vacuum, the collisional relaxation of C1 with argon was found to be indispensable to the growth process.
在氩气环境下用 YAG 激光辐照石墨样品。观察到 C2(d 3Î gâ a 3Î u) 天鹅带的发射,其衰减时间是 C2(d 3Î g) 固有寿命的 20 倍。在苯的存在下,C2 天鹅带会与 C1 发生反应,随着石墨周围苯的增加,观测到的 C2 天鹅带衰减时间缩短。此外,还确定了苯与 C1 或 C2 之间的反应产物,它们的分布随苯浓度的变化而显著不同。根据这些结果,实验证实了碳簇最简单的生长过程,即 2C1â C2。通过比较氩气环境下和真空环境下辐照石墨表面的发射光谱,发现 C1 与氩气的碰撞弛豫是生长过程中不可或缺的因素。
