Millimeter and Submillimeter Wavelength Studies of Nitric Acid's nu 6, nu 7 and nu 8
Millimeter and Submillimeter Wavelength Studies of Nitric Acid's nu 6 nu 7 and nu 8 Author:Sean Williams This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A257923. The abstract pr... more »ovided by the Pentagon follows: Millimeter and submillimeter-wave studies have been performed on the HNO3 molecule by means of a FAst Scan Submillimeter Spectroscopic Technique (FASSST). An ISTOK OB-30 BWO was used to take fast scans of the region 245-370 GHz. Over 500 spectral lines due to rotational transitions have been assigned for the HNO3 or nitric acid in the nu6, nu7, and nu8, vibrational states. A watson S- and A- reduced Hamiltonian and non-linear least squares fitting procedures were used in the analysis of the measured HNO3 lines. The rotational constants and rms deviations for each vibrational mode are reported.« less
