ArF and/or KrF excimer laser irradiation on frozen nitrogen, formed on a Nb target using a refrigerator, has been performed. This technique makes it possible to effectively enhance the photo excited reaction between a laser beam and nitrogen because of the high density of nitrogen. The excitation an...
