The supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI) technique is widely used in magnetic fusion devices for plasma fueling and active control of particles. The beam flow formed by the SMBI system is directly visualized by a newly established schlieren diagnostic system on the SMBI testing platform. This schlieren system could provide a 2D density distribution of the beam with the sub-mm spatial resolution by detecting the change in the refractive index of the medium caused by the SMBI in the low-pressure vacuum chamber. The structure and the divergence angle of the supersonic molecular beam for fusion plasma fueling are first measured. Additionally, the density profile of the supersonic molecular beam is reconstructed from the measured light intensity by the schlieren system. The experimental comparison between the standard nozzle and the optimized nozzle of the SMBI system shows the great potential of the diagnostic system in optimizing the beam characteristics.

The conformational space of 3-chloropropionic acid has been studied under the isolated conditions of a supersonic expansion using Stark-modulated free-jet absorption millimeter-wave and centimeter-wave chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy techniques. The rotational spectra originating from the three most stable conformers including Cl and Cl isotopologues were observed in both experiments using helium expansion while a partial conformational relaxation involving skeletal rearrangements takes place in an argon expansion. The rotational parameters, geometries, and energy order were determined from the experiment, allowing a comparison with quantum chemical predictions.

The high resolution ro-vibrational spectrum of the diatomic molecule vanadium oxide (VO) in the gas phase was measured around 1000 cm. In total, 1529 ro-vibrational transitions were assigned, in a spectral range of 984-1036 cm. For many transitions, the hyperfine structure resulting from the nuclear spin of V were resolved and the molecular parameters for the first ( = 1) and second ( = 2) excited vibrational state of VO were derived.

Criegee intermediates (CIs) play an important role in atmospheric chemistry as a transient source of the OH radical through their formation by the ozonolysis of unsaturated organic compounds. Here, we report thermally initiated formation of the smallest CI (CHOO) in the oxidation of ethane (CHCH) that may be relevant to combustion and flames. The SiO/SiC oxidation microreactor is heated to 1800 K and has a short residence time of ∼100 μs.

SiO is a widespread molecule found in interstellar space, and its dissociation requires a substantial input of energy due to its high bond energy of 8.34 eV. The present study initially demonstrated across a broad range of ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths (243-288 nm) the one-photon and two-photon dissociation of SiO molecules, which were generated from the laser ablation of a Si rod colliding with an oxygen molecular beam.
