Identification of Intermediates in Pyridine Pyrolysis with Molecular-beam Mass Spectrometry and Tunable Synchrotron VUV Photoionization

The pyrolysis of pyridine （5.26% pyridine in argon） was performed with tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization and molecular-beam mass spectrometry technique at the temperature range of 1255-1765 K at 267 Pa. About 20 products and intermediates, containing major species H2, HCN, C2H2, C5H3N, C4H2, and C3H3N, were identified by near-threshold measurements of photoionization mass spectra and their mole fractions vs. temperatures were estimated. The major reaction pathways are analyzed based on the experimental observations.

BaF2：Gd，Eu的真空紫外量子剪裁

本文观察到BaF2:Gd，Eu通过下转换过程实现可见光发射的量子剪裁过程。Gd3+吸收一个VUV光子，通过交叉弛豫过程把能量传递给两个Eu3+，从而发射出两个可见光光子，实现量子剪裁过程。通过光谱结果的计算，其量子剪裁效率可达194％。
