Investigations by Srdanov and Harris [10], by Fried-molecules were produced in a standard laser vaporiza-tion molecular beam source, following reaction of a la-ser ablation nickel plasma with 5 % O2 or NO doped in helium. The nickel was in the form of a rotating and translating rod, 5-mm in diameter 30-mm, 99.9 % pu-rity, from Strem Chemicals. Excitation (LIF) spectra in the range 410–510 nm were generated using a Nd:YA
