Design and performance of an (e, e+ion) spectrometer for studies of fragmentation of dipole and non-dipole states of gaseous molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
An (e, e+ion) spectrometer has been constructed that has the capability to measure time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectra of gases in coincidence ith energy selected inelastically scattered electrons, as a function of impact energy, electron energy loss and electron scattering angle. Relative o earlier dipole-regime implementations of the (e, e+ion) technique, this spectrometer can be used to study molecular fragmentation under both ipole and non-dipole electronic excitation and ionization conditions. The spectrometer uses a position-sensitive electron detector and a TOF tube ositioned at 90◦ with respect to the electron impact and scattering plane. The TOF design makes it possible either to extract all ions from the nteraction region, or to discriminate preferentially for ions that have kinetic energy along the axis of the TOF tube, thus allowing one to collect pectra with maximum efficiency, or to study the dynamics of the production of the molecular and fragment ions. The design and construction of he spectrometer is described, along with preliminary results for ionization in the S 2p excitation and ionization region of SF6. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An Improved Correlation for Second Virial Coefficients of Pure Fluids
In the present work, a modified correlation is presented for the second virial coefficients of both polar and nonpolar fluids based on the corresponding states principle. The second virial coefficients of gaseous polar and non-polar compounds were calculated and compared with experimental data and with other correlations. Comparisons with the existing correlations show that the present work is ...
متن کاملEffect of Induced Dipole-Induced Dipole Potential and the Size of Colliding Particles on Ion-Quadrupolar Molecule Collision Rate Constants
Classical trajectory (Monte Carlo) calculation is used to calculate collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule interactions for the H¯+C2H2 system. The method presented here takes into account the effect of the induced dipole-induced dipole potential on ion-quadrupolar molecule collision rate constants. It is also assumed that the colliding particles have a d...
متن کاملStudy of lone pair description in molecules by the modified delocalized floating spherical Gaussian orbital method.
This research has been carried out to study and find a rather general description for a lone pairorbital in molecules. Since the orbital parameters must be manageable in advance, and correctgeometry of the molecule (bond lengths) is depend on the appropriate lone pair description; theFSGO method including optimization has been used to obtain orbital parameters and energy. Theproposed models for...
متن کاملMicroscopic Parameters in the Excited State of Toluene and Some of Its Haloderavatives
The Ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectra of toluene, ortho-bromo and para-bromo toluene in different solvents have been studied. The electric dipole moments and polarizabilities in the molecular excited electronic states were determined. It was found that the electric dipole moments for the excited states (µ*) and the ground states (µ) of these compounds are equal, and the change in dipole moment i...
