Observation of far-infrared transitions of HCO +, CO + and HN +2

Rotational transitions of molecular ions HCO +, CO +, and HN + 2 have been observed at frequencies aroud 1 THz. The ions were produced in the negative glow of a hollow cathode discharge cooled by liquid nitrogen. Preliminary results indicate efficient production of ions in an absorption cell of simp...

Summary:Rotational transitions of molecular ions HCO +, CO +, and HN + 2 have been observed at frequencies aroud 1 THz. The ions were produced in the negative glow of a hollow cathode discharge cooled by liquid nitrogen. Preliminary results indicate efficient production of ions in an absorption cell of simple construction.
