Dissociative electron attachment to H2O2: a very effective source for OH and OH generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to hydrogen peroxide ðH2O2Þ is studied by two independent electron beam experiments using mass spectrometric detection of the product ions. The fragments OH and O are observed from a prominent low energy resonance peaking near 0.4 eV. The partial absolute DEA cross-sections are 6:8 10 17 and 1:7 10 17 cm for the OH and the O channels, respectively. These numbers are several orders of magnitude higher than for the corresponding DEA processes in simple OH containing organic compounds. These numbers are also important from the point of view of radiation damage in biological tissues. 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Oxidant enhancement in martian dust devils and storms: storm electric fields and electron dissociative attachment.
Laboratory studies, numerical simulations, and desert field tests indicate that aeolian dust transport can generate atmospheric electricity via contact electrification or "triboelectricity." In convective structures such as dust devils and dust storms, grain stratification leads to macroscopic charge separations and gives rise to an overall electric dipole moment in the aeolian feature, similar...

متن کاملCharacterization of free radical generation by xanthine oxidase. Evidence for hydroxyl radical generation.
Xanthine oxidase has been hypothesized to be an important source of biological free radical generation. The enzyme generates the superoxide radical, .O2- and has been widely applied as a .O2- generating system; however, the enzyme may also generate other forms of reduced oxygen. We have applied electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy using the spin trap 5,5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-ox...
متن کاملDissociative electron attachment to DNA.
Electron-stimulated desorption of anions from thin films of linear and supercoiled DNA is investigated in the range 3-20 eV. Resonant structures are observed with maxima at 9.4+/-0.3, 9.2+/-0.3, and 9.2+/-0.3 eV, respectively, in the yield dependence of H-, O-, and OH- on the incident electron energy. Their formation is attributed to dissociative electron attachment.
