Dissociative recombination angular distributions

Dissociative recombination angular distributions

The angular distributions of the products of dissociative recombination of diatomic molecular ions are derived. The distributions are determined by the dominant partial waves of the captured electrons. For a single dominant wave, the neutral product distribution is described by the same spherical harmonic that describes the electron partial wave. The derived distributions take into account both...

Product angular distributions in dissociative recombination.

The dependence of the dissociative recombination cross section upon the angle between the incoming electron beam and the ion internuclear axis is determined for diatomic molecules. Product angular distributions are derived for the component partial waves of the Coulomb wave function. In agreement with earlier results for dissociative attachment, it is shown that in the slow rotation approximati...

Energy and angular distributions in dissociative photodetachment of O4

An anisotropic product angular distribution has been observed in the dissociative photodetachment of O4 2 at 523 nm. Energy and angular distributions of coincident O2 products from the process O4 1hn→O21O21e were measured using translational energy spectroscopy in a fast ion beam. The angular distribution peaks perpendicular to the electric vector of the laser beam. © 1995 American Institute of...

Dissociative recombination of protonated methanol.

The branching ratios of the different reaction pathways and the overall rate coefficients of the dissociative recombination reactions of CH3OH2+ and CD3OD2+ have been measured at the CRYRING storage ring located in Stockholm, Sweden. Analysis of the data yielded the result that formation of methanol or deuterated methanol accounted for only 3 and 6% of the total rate in CH3OH2+ and CD3OD2+, res...
