چکیده
The dynamics of the three-body dissociative charge exchange of fast (12 keV) H+3 and D+3 with Cs have been studied using multiparticle translational spectroscopy. The observed partitioning of product momenta was found to be state-specific and yields insights into the nuclear motion during dissociation for the three lowest-lying 2s 2A'1, 2p 2A''2, and 3p 2E' metastable Rydberg states of H3 and the 2s 2A'1 and 2p 2A''2 states for D3. These results provide direct empirical information on the nonadiabatic couplings that govern the three-body dissociation of the lowest-lying Rydberg states of H3 and D3.

Experimentally 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...
متن کاملRole of ion-pair states in the predissociation dynamics of Rydberg states of molecular iodine.
Using femtosecond pump-probe ion imaging spectroscopy, we establish the key role of I(+) + I(-) ion-pair (IP) states in the predissociation dynamics of molecular iodine I2 excited to Rydberg states. Two-photon excitation of Rydberg states lying above the lowest IP state dissociation threshold (1st tier) is found to be followed by direct parallel transitions into IP states of the 1st tier asympt...
متن کاملElectronically excited and ionized states of the CH2CH2OH radical: a theoretical study.
The low lying excited electronic states of the 2-hydroxyethyl radical, CH(2)CH(2)OH, have been investigated theoretically in the range 5-7 eV by using coupled-cluster and equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods. Both dissociation and isomerization pathways are identified. On the ground electronic potential energy surface, two stable conformers and six saddle points at energies below approxim...
متن کاملImaging studies of excited and dissociative States of hydroxymethylene produced in the photodissociation of the hydroxymethyl radical.
Rotational, vibrational, and electronic states of formaldehyde and cis-hydroxymethylene products generated in the photodissociation of the hydroxymethyl radical are investigated by sliced velocity map imaging (SVMI) following excitation of the radical to its 3px and 3pz Rydberg states. SVMI of H and D photofragments is essential in these studies because it allows zooming in on low-velocity regi...
متن کاملEffects of on-center impurity on energy levels of low-lying states in concentric double quantum rings
In this paper, the electronic eigenstates and energy spectra of single and two-interacting electrons confined in a concentric double quantum rings with a perpendicular magnetic field in the presence of on-center donor and acceptor impurities are calculated using the exact diagonalization method. For a single electron case, the binding energy of on-center donor and acceptor impurities ar...
