Theoretical studies of ZEKE spectroscopy and dynamics of high Rydberg states

چکیده
A main purpose of this Letter is to show how to employ the inverse Born–Oppenheimer approximation as a basis set to study zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) spectroscopy and the autoionization dynamics of the ZEKE states. The calculations of channel couplings, quantum defects, intensity borrowing, vibrational and rotational autotionizations will be demonstrated by using a homonuclear diatomic molecule as an example. 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Coherent stabilization of zero-electron-kinetic-energy states
The accuracy of zero-electron-kinetic-energy ~ZEKE! photoelectron spectroscopy rests on the ultralong lifetimes of the high-n, high-l Rydberg states that are responsible for the ZEKE signal. However, a few-photon process cannot excite electrons directly from the low-l ground state to the high-l ZEKE manifold. In this paper we show that using the dynamics of Rydberg Stark states in slowly time d...
متن کاملA master equation approach to the dynamics of zero electron kinetic energy (ZEKE) states and ZEKE spectroscopy.
We have theoretically studied important dynamic processes involved in zero electron kinetic energy (ZEKE) spectroscopy using the density matrix method with the inverse Born-Oppenheimer approximation basis sets. In ZEKE spectroscopy, the ZEKE Rydberg states are populated by laser excitation (either a one- or two-photon process), which is followed by autoionizations and l-mixing due to a stray fi...
متن کاملMass analyzed threshold ionization detected infrared spectroscopy: isomerization activity of the phenol-Ar cluster near the ionization threshold.
The structure of the phenol-argon cluster (PhOH-Ar) in high-n Rydberg states is investigated by the newly developed technique of mass analyzed threshold ionization detected infrared (MATI-IR) spectroscopy. This method selectively measures IR spectra of molecular clusters in very high-n Rydberg states (n > 100) utilized in zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron and MATI spectroscopy, whose ion...

متن کاملExperimentally probing the three-body predissociation dynamics of the low-lying Rydberg states of H3 and D3
Charge-exchange neutralization of H3 + with Cs allows preparation of the low-lying Rydberg states of H3. These states are predissociated by the repulsive ground state and may play roles as intermediates in the dissociative recombination of H3 + + e. Translational spectroscopy and measurements of product momentum partitioning in three-body dissociative charge exchange of fast (12 keV) H3 + and D...
