Lifetimes of metastable spherical carbon cluster dianions
Semiclassical calculations are made of the lifetimes of metastable spherical carbon cluster dianions using a model potential based on electrostatics. The metastability is attributed to shape resonances resulting from the combination of the long range Coulomb repulsion and the shorter range electron±molecule interaction. Results for fullerene dianions show a strong dependence of the lifetimes on...
متن کاملComputed lifetimes of metastable states of CO2+.
Highly correlated internally contracted multireference configuration interaction wave functions are used to calculate the potential energy and spin-orbit coupling functions for the lowest electronic states of CO2+ dication. Using these functions, the positions and lifetimes of the corresponding vibronic states are evaluated by means of log-phase-amplitude, stabilization, and complex-scaling met...
متن کاملEvaluation of single-photon-counting measurements of excited-state lifetimes.
An extremely short instrumental response function for a single-photon-counting system has been obtained by using a low-jitter photomultiplier tube, fast amplification of the single photoelectron pulse from this photomultiplier, a constant fraction discriminator with a wide bandwidth input, and a stable reference timing signal. This synchronously mode-locked laser system has been shown to be cap...
متن کاملLaser spectroscopic studies of state-dependent collisional quenching of the lifetimes of metastable antiprotonic helium atoms
A laser spectroscopic method was developed to directly observe the lifetimes of individual states in metastable antiprotonic helium atoms ( p̄ He). Collisional effects with surrounding helium atoms were studied in cryogenic gas targets at pressures between 0.1 and 9.0 bars and at temperatures between 5.5 and 7.0 K. The metastable state (n ,l )5(39,35) showed a lifetime of 1.5 ms, regardless of d...
متن کاملMeasurements and calculations of metastable level lifetimes in Fe X , Fe XI , Fe XII , Fe XIII , and Fe XIV
Lifetimes of metastable levels in the ground term of Fe ions within the 3s3p, k51 – 5, isoelectronic sequences have been measured. These measurements were performed utilizing ions that were selected by mass to charge ratio while transported from an electron cyclotron resonance ion source to a Kingdon ion trap, where they were captured and then confined for periods of up to 2.1 s. During this st...
