An investigation of the absorption spectra of both 14NO2 and 15NO2 has revealed a long progression of red-degraded bands in the region 3 700–4 600 Å. The rotational analysis shows that these bands are the Ka = 0 ← 1 subbands of the electronic transition 2B1 ← 2A1. The interpretation of the bands is discussed, and a few remarks concerning the onset of predissociation at 3 979 Å are added.

A krypton ion laser operating at 6470 Å excites strong resonance fluorescence in nitrogen dioxide gas. The fluorescence bands have "parallel" structure (ΔK = 0) and are assigned to the electronically allowed subsystem of a 2B2–2A1 electronic transition. A partial rotational analysis is given for the upper state of the fluorescence bands, and their relationship to the absorption spectrum in the region 6000–11 500 Å is discussed.

A new electronic transition of SiH has been observed in absorption near 1907 Å in flash discharges through mixtures of SiH4 and H2. The rotational analysis shows this transition to be of the type 2Σ+−2Π. The corresponding transition of SiD has also been observed and analyzed. The D2Δ−X2Π transition near 2058 Å which was observed and analyzed by Verma in SiD has been measured here for SiH, where the lines are much broader on account of predissociation. The predissociation phenomena in SiH and SiD and the electron configurations are briefly discussed, and the presently known molecular constants of these molecules are summarized.


The spectra of the diatomic hydrides of lithium, sodium and potassium have been studied both in absorption and in emission by several authors, LiH by Nakamura (1930, 1931) and Crawford and Jorgensen (1935), NaH by Hori (1930, 1931) and Olsson (1935), KH by Almy and Hause (1932) and Hori (1933), and recently Almy and Rassweiler (1938) have published details of the absorption spectrum of caesium hydride. All these hydrides show spectra of the “ many-line” type consisting of numerous overlapping bands with open rotational structure and no obvious heads. A rotational analysis shows that they all have the same type of electronic transition, 1Σ → 1Σ ,and are very strongly degraded towards the red. These spectra are all anomalous in that the frequency, ω´ v , and the rotational constant, B'v,increase at first with increasing initial vibrational quantum numbe v `.

X-ray absorption fine structure XAFS spectroscopy has been used to determine the valence system for the Fe atom in ilmenite, FeTiO3 . This is the first XAFS data in FeTiO3 to our knowledge. The α- Fe2O3 data served as the standard in determining the ionization of the Fe atom in FeTiO3 . Observation of intensity and k-space are consistent. There was no evidence of mixed valence on comparing the FeTiO3 near edge X-ray absorption spectrum with α- Fe2O3 data. The absorption spectra suggest that iron is in the trivalent state in ilmenite.

The absorption spectra of visual purple solutions extracted by various means were measured with a sensitive photoelectric spectrophotometer and compared with the classical visual purple absorption spectrum. Hardening the retinas in alum before extraction yielded visual purple solutions of much higher light transmission in the blue and violet, probably because of the removal of light-dispersing substances. Re-extraction indicated that visual purple is more soluble in the extractive than are the other colored retinal components. However, the concentration of the extractive did not affect the color purity of the extraction but did influence the keeping power. This suggests a chemical combination between the extractive and visual purple. The pH of the extractive affected the color purity of the resulting solution. Over the pH range from 5.5 to 10.0, the visual purple color purity was greatest at the low pH. Temperature during extraction was also effective, the color purity being greater the higher the temperature, up to 40°C. Drying and subsequent re-dissolving of visual purple solutions extracted with digitalin freed the solution of some protein impurities and increased its keeping power. Dialysis against distilled water seemed to precipitate visual purple from solution irreversibly. None of the treatments described improved the symmetry of the unbleached visual purple absorption spectrum sufficiently for it to resemble the classical absorption spectrum. Therefore it is very likely that the classical absorption spectrum is that of the light-sensitive group only and that the absorption spectra of our purest unbleached visual purple solutions represent the molecule as a whole.

The effect of intrinsic point defects on the electronic structure and absorption spectra of ZnO was investigated by first-principle calculation. Among the intrinsic point defects in ZnO, oxygen vacancies [Formula: see text] and interstitial zinc [Formula: see text] have the lower formation energy and the more stable structure under zinc(Zn)-rich condition, whereas zinc vacancies [Formula: see text] and interstitial oxygen [Formula: see text] have the lower formation energy and the more stable structure under oxygen(O)-rich condition. The band gap of [Formula: see text] becomes narrow and the absorption spectrum has a redshift. In the visible region, the photo-excited electron transition of [Formula: see text] is graded from the valence band top to the impurity level and then to the conduction band bottom, showing the redshift of absorption spectrum of [Formula: see text] and explaining the reason of [Formula: see text] forming a deep impurity levels in ZnO. Moreover, the impurity energy level of [Formula: see text] coincides with the Fermi level, indicating the significant trap effect and the slow recombination of electrons and holes, which are conducive to the design and preparation of novel ZnO photocatalysts. The band gap of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] broadened and the absorption spectrum showed blueshift, explaining the different values of the ZnO band gap width.
