Electron Impact Detachment of Weakly Bound Negative Ions
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is presented for accurately calculating the total electron impact detachment cross section for weakly bound negative ions. The results are compared to recent experiments for electron impact detachment of H and B. Cross sections differential in energy are presented which elucidate some of the dynamics of the detachment process. A scaling law for the cross section is proposed. [S0031-9007(98)08313-6]

Electron-impact detachment of weakly bound negative ions: Threshold and scaling laws
The details of a recent theoretical formulation of electron-impact detachment of weakly bound negative ions are presented. The formalism is applied at low energies to find the behavior of the cross section near threshold. Also, the applicability of a recently proposed scaling law is discussed. The formulation uses different coordinate systems for the initial and final states. The initial state ...
متن کاملModel-independent quantum approach for intense laser detachment of a weakly bound electron.
We present a model-independent theory for laser detachment of a weakly bound electron having a nonzero angular momentum. Our treatment reduces to the well-known Keldysh result for tunnel ionization upon neglecting rescattering effects. Numerical results for the above-threshold detachment spectrum of a negative ion having an outer p electron show significant modification of the rescattering plat...
متن کاملCoulomb trajectory effects on electron-impact detachment of negative ions and on mutual neutralization cross sections
Cross sections of electron-impact detachment of negative ions and of mutual neutralization between positive and negative ions are calculated using a model based on the semiclassical theory for ion–atom collisions but modified to include Coulomb trajectory effects. It is shown that the method allows us to obtain accurate results for collisions down to low energies. The Coulomb repulsion between ...
متن کاملStrong field detachment of a negative ion with non-zero angular momentum: application to F-
We apply our recently developed, model-independent quantum approach for intense laser detachment of a weakly bound electron to interpret a recent experiment on abovethreshold detachment (ATD) of the Fion. We find that the measured electron energies correspond to the “Keldysh part” of the ATD spectrum, just below the onset of our predicted rescattering plateau. Overall, our predicted ATD spectru...
متن کاملElectron accommodation dynamics in the DNA base thymine.
The dynamics of electron attachment to the DNA base thymine are investigated using femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging of the gas phase iodide-thymine (I(-)T) complex. An ultraviolet pump pulse ejects an electron from the iodide and prepares an iodine-thymine temporary negative ion that is photodetached with a near-IR probe pulse. The resulting photoelectrons are analyzed with veloc...
