Abstract
The formation and dissociation of [Formula: see text] in an atomic beam by ruby laser radiation have been observed. Values of the dissociation energy of [Formula: see text] have been determined by the time of flight of the resulting Na+ ions and the potential needed to stop them. These results, with a mean of 1.02 ± 0.09 eV, have been compared with the calculated and observed values of others. The effects of laser polarization vs. dimer axis orientation have been clearly demonstrated.
