A theoretical investigation of temperature determination from the pure rotational Raman spectra of diatomic and linear molecules is performed. Calculations are presented on the suitable selection of the lines used to minimize the random error. The problem is formulated in terms of rotational characteristic temperatures. Our results show, for single-channel detection, that temperature determination from the intensity ratio of only two properly selected lines is superior to the evaluation of many lines. Optimum line pairs are calculated for the most widely used molecules, H2 and N2, in the temperature range 300 to 2000 K. The random errors to be expected in this temperature range are given in a form which allows estimates to be made for any particular experimental situation.

A 5-A dc are was struck between pure chromium electrodes in nitrogen at 1 atm. The chromium I excitation temperature, averaged over atoms in the center of the arc image, determined by relative emission-line intensities in the near infrared, was found to be (4893 ± 190) °K. The extent of self-absorption was determined from the same lines. Relative f values for 63 lines of chromium I, including the 21 used initially, were determined with precision of 0.33 in log gf. Existing instrumentation and current improvements to the experiment are described.

Vegard's identifications of a number of lines appearing in the auroral spectrum are discussed. The conclusion is reached that a good many of these lines may be attributed to the oxygen atom in several stages of ionization. It is shown how measured line intensities and theoretical line strengths are combined to give the excitation temperature of the auroral region. Preliminary results indicate that this temperature is in the range 3000° to 6000° K. The meaning of this result is discussed briefly.

Valence state analyses of Fe and Mn in oxides by EPMA have been reported in literature. In this paper, the effects of valence state on intensity ratios ILα/IKα and ILα/ILβ of Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr and their oxides, and on intensity ratios ILβ2/ILα1 and ILγ1/ILα1 of Mo, Nb, Zr and their oxides were studied. It was observed that intensity ratios change with valence states in accordance with some regularities, and these effects could be utilized for analyzing the valence states of catalysts.Valence state analysis of elements by EPMA is based on the fact that changes in the states of valence electrons in the outer shells of an atom cause corresponding changes in line intensities. The M electrons of Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr and the N electrons of Mo, Nb, Zr are valence electrons. Line Kα1,2 and six lines of L are produced from the transitions of K-L2,3 and L-M or L-N respectively.

Previous experimental measurements of the total white line intensities from L2,3 energy loss spectra of 3d transition metals reported a linear dependence of the white line intensity on 3d occupancy. These results are inconsistent, however, with behavior inferred from relativistic one electron Dirac-Fock calculations, which show an initial increase followed by a decrease of total white line intensity across the 3d series. This inconsistency with experimental data is especially puzzling in light of work by Thole, et al., which successfully calculates x-ray absorption spectra of the lanthanide M4,5 white lines by employing a less rigorous Hartree-Fock calculation with relativistic corrections based on the work of Cowan. When restricted to transitions allowed by dipole selection rules, the calculated spectra of the lanthanide M4,5 white lines show a decreasing intensity as a function of Z that was consistent with the available experimental data.Here we report the results of Dirac-Fock calculations of the L2,3 white lines of the 3d and 4d elements, and compare the results to the experimental work of Pearson et al. In a previous study, similar calculations helped to account for the non-statistical behavior of L3/L2 ratios of the 3d metals. We assumed that all metals had a single 4s electron. Because these calculations provide absolute transition probabilities, to compare the calculated white line intensities to the experimental data, we normalized the calculated intensities to the intensity of the continuum above the L3 edges. The continuum intensity was obtained by Hartree-Slater calculations, and the normalization factor for the white line intensities was the integrated intensity in an energy window of fixed width and position above the L3 edge of each element.
