Slow electron velocity-map imaging of negative ions: applications to spectroscopy and dynamics.
نویسنده
چکیده
Anion photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) has become one of the most versatile techniques in chemical physics. This article briefly reviews the history of anion PES and some of its applications. It describes efforts to improve the resolution of this technique, including anion zero electron kinetic energy (ZEKE) and the recently developed method of slow electron velocity-map imaging (SEVI). Applications of SEVI to studies of vibronic coupling in open-shell systems and the spectroscopy of prereactive van der Waals complexes are then discussed.

High resolution photodetachment spectroscopy of negative ions via slow photoelectron imaging.
A technique for high resolution anion photodetachment spectroscopy is presented that combines velocity map imaging and anion threshold photodetachment. This method, slow electron velocity-map imaging, provides spectral line widths of better than 1 meV. Spectra over a substantial range of electron kinetic energies are recorded in a single image, providing a dramatic reduction of data acquisition...
متن کاملSlow photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy of cold thiozonide (S3(-)).
We report high-resolution anion photoelectron spectra of thiozonide (S3(-)) acquired by slow electron velocity-map imaging (SEVI). The ions were cryogenically cooled within an ion trap before photodetachment. We measure an electron affinity of 2.3630(9) eV, resolving discrepancies in previously reported photoelectron spectra that resulted from the presence of vibrational hot bands. The SEVI spe...
متن کاملSlow photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy of cold negative ions.
Anion slow photoelectron velocity-map imaging (SEVI) spectroscopy is a high-resolution variant of photoelectron spectroscopy used to study the electronic and geometric structure of atoms, molecules, and clusters. To benefit from the high resolution of SEVI when it is applied to molecular species, it is essential to reduce the internal temperature of the ions as much as possible. Here, we descri...
متن کاملCOLTRIMS Imaging of Molecular Fragmentation Dynamics of CO Molecules Induced by Slow He Ions
We study the multiple ionization and fragmentation of CO in collisions with slow He ions. Correlated measurements of all fragment ions and the projectile final charge state were performed using our coincidence COLTRIMS imaging technique coupled to projectile charge state separation. Complete fragmentations of CO, following double electron capture, into C+O with a total charge of 4 were investig...
متن کاملVibronic structure in C2H and C2D from anion slow electron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy.
The C2H and C2D radicals are investigated by slow electron velocity-map imaging (SEVI) of the corresponding anions. This technique offers considerably higher resolution (<0.5 meV) than photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, SEVI spectra of the two isotopomers yield improved electron affinities and reveal many new structures that are particularly sensitive to vibronic coupling between the grou...
