Abstract

Visible chemiluminescence in the 4300-6600 Å region was observed from the Ca+N₂O and Ca+O₃ reactions in argon matrix. The broad bands at 6066 and 6246 Å were ascribed to the d ³Δ (or D ¹Δ)→a 3Π and the D ¹Δ→A′ ¹Π transitions of CaO, respectively. A weaker band at 6416 Å (15 586 cm^-1) was assigned as emission from the previously unobserved c 3∑⁺ state to the a 3Π state of CaO. Emission due to Ca atoms in the ¹P(4s4p)→¹S(4s²) and the ³P(4s4p)→¹S(4s²) transitions was also observed as sharp peaks at 4231 and 6575 Å, respectively. The atomic emitters were excited by energy transfer from CaO*, most probably from the D, d, and c states. The Ca(³P) also receives population via fast relaxation from the ¹P state.
