THE GAMMA RADIOLYSIS OF CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF RARE GASES

Journal Article · · Z. Naturforsch

The gamma radiolysis of carbon monoxide in the presence of the rare gases (Ar, Kr, and Xe) was studied with and without the application of an electric field. The results " showed that energy transfer producing excited species is the important phenomenon. Specifically, excited CO molecules react with other CO molecules producing carbon dioxide and carbon suboxide polymer. (auth)
