Abstract
Irradiation of pure oxygen at high pressure by a KrF excimer laser can produce ozone,1,2 although its wavelength (248 nm) falls 0.12 eV short of the energy required to dissociate O2 Experimental results indicate that ozone is produced through two processes: a slow process, which generates a small initial ozone concentration, and a fast process, which produces Ozone more efficiently once ozone is present. Thus, the process is autocatalytic. Freeman et al.3 suggested the following process for the initial ozone generation.
