Kinetic Energy Release in Metastable Transitions. I
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A method is described for detecting metastable transitions which take place with the release of kinetic energy in the field-free region between the source and electrostatic analyser of a doublefocusing mass spectrometer, and a procedure is given for evaluating the kinetic energy release. Values are given for a number of transitions and are in agreement with those obtained by other methods where comparison is possible. The variation of peak shape with accelerating voltage is ascribed to the varying efficiency with which product ions are collected.

Kinetic Energy Release and Metastable Transitions
The decompositions of doubly-charged ions given by a number of C3 —C8 aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons have been investigated in a double-focusing mass spectrometer. Many processes were found in which high kinetic energy CH3+ and C2H3+ ions are formed. Doubly-charged ions fragment by more than one route and in many cases, high kinetic energy fragment ions are formed in at least two differen...
متن کاملComputation of Metastable Phases in Tungsten-carbon System
Metastable phase equilibria in the W-C system are presented in the vicinity of the metastable reactions involving W2C, WC1-x, and WC. Metastable phase boundaries were obtained by reproducing the stable boundaries using optimized Gibbs energy formulations and extrapolating them into regions of metastability. Four metastable reactions were obtained: a metastable congruent melting reaction of WC a...
متن کاملOn the robustness of the ammonia thermometer
Ammonia inversion lines are often used as probes of the physical conditions in the dense ISM. The excitation temperature between the first two para metastable (rotational) levels is an excellent probe of the gas kinetic temperature. However, the calibration of this ammonia thermometer depends on the accuracy of the collisional rates with H2. Here we present new collisional rates for ortho-NH3 a...
متن کاملMetastable anions of dinitrobenzene: resonances for electron attachment and kinetic energy release.
Attachment of free, low-energy electrons to dinitrobenzene (DNB) in the gas phase leads to DNB(-) as well as several fragment anions. DNB(-), (DNB-H)(-), (DNB-NO)(-), (DNB-2NO)(-), and (DNB-NO(2))(-) are found to undergo metastable (unimolecular) dissociation. A rich pattern of resonances in the yield of these metastable reactions versus electron energy is observed; some resonances are highly i...
متن کاملMechanisms and dynamics of the metastable decay in Ar2+.
A detailed experimental as well as theoretical investigation of the properties of the metastable dissociation Ar2+ --> Ar+ + Ar is presented. The mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) scan technique has been performed using a three sector field mass spectrometer. The possible mechanisms of the metastability of Ar2+ have been examined and the observed decay process is assigned to the II(1/2)(u...
