The emission characteristics of uranium hexafluoride at high temperaturesRelative emission measurements were made for UF6/Argon mixtures heated in a plasma torch over a range of temperatures from 800 to about 3600 K over a wavelength range from 80 to 600 nm. Total pressures were varied from 1 to approximately 1.7 atm. Similarly absorption measurements were carried out in the visible region from 420 to 580 nm over a temperature range from about 1000 to 1800 K. Total pressure for these measurements was 1.0 atm. The emission results exhibited relatively no emission at wavelengths below 250 nm over the range of temperatures investigated. At temperatures in excess of 1800 K an additional emission band centered at 310 nm appears and becomes more well defined at higher temperatures. Essentially no pressure effect was observed with respect to emission at pressures up to 1.7 atm.
