    Notes: Abstract A MultiPhoton-Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MPI/TOFMS) apparatus was developed for real-time measurement of the uranium isotopic ratio in nascent UF5 formed by the 266 nm photolysis of effusive UF6 ( 〈 300 K, ≈ 1.3 × 10−4 Pa). The UF5 was selectively and efficiently multiphoton ionized by 532 nm radiation at appreciably low fluences ( 〈 10 J/cm2). The main ions observed, U+ and U2+, were subsequently analyzed with a TOFMS with mass resolution of 1190 to separate235U n+ and238U n+ completely. The isotopic ratio measurements showed good precision resulting from the excellent agreement which was observed between the isotopic ratios in UF5 products and those in a parent UF6 sample. These results suggested that the MPI/TOFMS method can be applied to the real-time analysis of separation factors in the molecular laser isotope separation of uranium by ionization of UF5 following the infrared photodissociation of UF6.

    Notes: Abstract In infrared multiphoton dissociation of supercooled UF6 irradiated with multifrequency para-H2 Raman laser beams, separation factors and contrast ratios were measured by selective multiphoton ionization of the photoproduct UF5 at 532 nm followed by time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis. The relationship between separation factor and contrast ratio is discussed theoretically and quantitatively investigated in the experiments. From this relationship, we obtain the irradiation conditions of the laser-beam fluences for attaining a high separation factor and estimate the value of the intrinsic separation factor in multifrequency dissociation of UF6.

    Notes: Abstract The time-dependent change in the concentration of UF6 monomers populated in the ground state was monitored in a supersonic Laval nozzle flow with an infrared diode-laser spectrometer in which the frequency of the laser beam was fixed at theυ = 1 ← 0 transition (627.7 cm−1) of theν 3 vibrational mode of the238UF6 monomer. The concentration of UF6 monomers in the ground state increased immediately after a single shot from a Raman laser tuned to a vibrational mode of UF6 clusters (614.8 cm−1) was applied to the gas in the nozzle. Subsequently, this concentration leveled off and slowly returned to the previous level. These results indicate that the population of UF6 monomers in the ground state increased as a result of the predissociation of UF6 clusters vibrationally excited with Raman laser radiation. It is demonstrated that one can utilize this procedure for vibrational predissociation of UF6 clusters as a technique to increase the concentration of UF6 monomers in an irradiation zone for molecular laser isotope separation of uranium.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of multiphoton absorption of 16 µm Raman-laser radiation in supercooled238UF6 at 90 K were performed by using a pulsed Laval nozzle with an optical path length of 50 cm. The laser fluence was varied between 50 and 500 mJ/cm2 for four frequencies in the range from 625 to 629 cm−1. The energy absorbed by238UF6 molecules was investigated as a function of laser frequency or fluence, and highly accurate results were obtained with the use of the nozzle whose optical path length is much greater than that of nozzles used before. The results indicated that the absorption cross section at the peak absorption frequency (627.8cm−1) was proportional to the −1/3 power of the fluence.
