Sažetak
Applying the method of laser induced fluorescence, the cross section σ5S for the energy pooling process Na(3P) + Na(3P) → Na(5S) + Na(3S) has been determined at temperatures in the interval from 567 to 676 K. It has been found that σ5S decreases with increasing temperature, exhibiting σ5S ∝ T −1.3 dependence. The results show excellent agreement with the recent theoretical calculations. Also, the determined temperature dependence of the cross section σ5S fits very well into recently reported general σ vs. T scheme for the exothermic collisional excitation energy transfer cross sections, which includes various collision partners and various types of collisional excitation energy transfer processes with different energy defects.
