Nonlocal effects in dissociative electron attachment to H2.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron scattering by diatomic molecules involving the formation of a single resonance is treated within the configuration-interaction formalism. A technique is presented for solving the resulting nonlocal integro-dN'erential equation for the nuclear motion in the resonant state. This technique is applied to the scattering of electrons by molecular hydrogen (and its isotopes) via the formation of X 'X " resonance, using a semiempirical model for the resonant state. Numerical cross sections for dissociative attachment, to H2, of electrons with energies below 5 eV are presented and compared both with available experimental data and with those obtained using the local approximation for the complete integro-differential equation. In contrast to the local theory, the nonlocal theory predicts cross sections that exhibit discontinuities at energies at which a new vibrational channel opens up. %e also give an upper bound for attachment cross sections that holds for all isotopes of molecular hydrogen for all values of the incident electron energies.

Electron scattering in HCl: An improved nonlocal resonance model
We present an improved nonlocal resonance model for electron-HCl collisions. The short-range part of the model is fitted to ab initio electron-scattering eigenphase sums calculated using the Schwinger multichannel method, while the long-range part is based on the ab initio potential-energy curve of the bound anion HCl−. This model significantly improves the agreement of nonlocal resonance calcu...

The effects of rovibrational temperature on dissociative electron attachment to hydrogen bromide has been investigated from the experimental and theoretical point of view. Theoretical calculations based on the nonlocal resonance model predict a strong temperature effect on the Br− fragment ion yield due to population of higher vibrational and rotational states. A crossed beam experimental setup...
متن کاملImportance of nonresonant scattering in low-energy dissociative electron attachment to molecular hydrogen.
A central premise of nearly all theories of dissociative electron attachment is that this process is resonance driven. Neglect of nonresonant scattering, although appropriate for electron-molecule systems with narrow (long-lived) resonances, is problematic for the e-H2 system, which has one of the broadest known resonances. Using the nonadiabatic phase-matrix method we have found that at energi...
