Abstract
Emission spectra of the CN violet band system (B 2Σ—X 2Σ) were observed by the electron impact on HCN with several impact energies near the threshold. The formation of CN(B) by the dissociative excitation of HCN was investigated. The threshold energy agreed essentially with that obtained by the photodissociation measurements by Okabe et al. The excitation function and the dependence of the vibrational populations of CN(B) on the electron energy were obtained. These results suggest that an optically allowed state contributes to the formation of CN(B) from HCN as a main precursor.
