Turnipseed, G.L. Vaghjiani, J.E. Thompson, A.R. Ravishankara Title: Photodissociation of HNO3 at 193, 222, and 248 nm - Products and quantum yields Journal: J. Chem. Phys., 96, 5887-5895, (1992) Data: (diagram, table, disk): Wavelenght range: 193, 222, 248 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Comments: The quantum yield for OH was observed to be near unity at 248 and 222 nm, and 0.33 +/- 0.06 for 193 nm. The quantum yield for O atoms was observed to be 0.031 +/- 0.010, 0.20 +/- 0.03, and 0.81 +/- 0.13, at 248, 222, and 193 nm. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
