Abstract
The recombination of nitrogen atoms on polycrystalline samples of cobalt and nickel produces metastable electronically excited nitrogen molecules, probably N 2(W 3Δ u), which are collisionally transferred to the N 2(B 3Πg) state. Information about vibrational relaxation of the metastable state by N 2(X 1Σ + g) is inferred from composition dependent changes in the observed first positive emission spectrum [N 29A 3Σ + g)−N 2(B 3Π g] with the aid of multilevel, steady-state, kinetic model.
