Nee, J.C. Yang, P.C. Lee, X.Y. Wang, C.T. Kuo Title: Photoabsorption Cross Sections of N2O in 100 - 220 nm Journal/Source: Chinese J. Physics, 37 (2), 172-180, (1999) Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 100 - 220 nm Resolution: 0.05 - 0.5 nm Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The photoabsorption spectrum of N2O was measured in the wavelength region 100-220 nm by using VUV synchrotron radiation as the light source. The absorption spectrum of N2O consists of a structured continuum in 160-220 nm, a series of diffuse bands in 140-160 nm, a dissociative continuum in 120-140 nm, and a region of many Rydberg states in 100-120 nm.
