Photodissociation of HOD via the C1B1 State： OD/OH Branching Ratio and OD Bond Dissociation Energy

Photodissociation of jet-cooled HOD via the C state around 124 nm has been studied using the H（D）-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique. Rotational state resolved action spectrum and the product translational energy distribution spectra have been recorded for both D＋OH and H＋OD dissociation channels. Product channel OH/OD branching ratios for the individual C-X rotational transition have been determined. A comparison is also given with the B-X and A-X transitions. In addition, the dissociation energy of the OD bond in HOD has been determined accurately to be 41751.3±5 cm-1.

Semiclassical Calculation of Recurrence Spectra of Rydberg Hydrogen Atom Near a Metal Surface

Using closed orbit theory, we give a clear physical picture description of the Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface and calculate the Fourier transformed recurrence spectra of this system at different scaled energies below ionization threshold. The results show that with the increase of the scaled energy, the number of the closed orbit increases greatly. Some of the orbits are created by the bifurcation of the perpendicular orbit. This case is quite similar to the Rydberg atom in an electric field. When the scaled energy increases furthermore, chaotic orbits appear. This study provides a different perspective on the dynamical behavior of the Rydberg atom near a metal surface.

Ultraviolet Photodissociation Dynamics of DNCO+hν→D+NCO: Two Competitive Pathways

Photodissociation dynamics of DNCO+hv→D+NCO at photolysis wavelengths between 200 and 235 nm have been studied using the D-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique. Product translational energy distributions and angular distributions have been determined. Nearly statistical distribution of the product translational energy with nearly isotropic angular distribution was observed at 210-235 nm, which may come from the predissociation pathway of internal conversion from S1 to S0 state followed by decomposition on S0 surface. At shorter photolysis wavelengths, in addition to the statistical distribution, another feature with anisotropic angular distribution appears at high translational energy region, which can be attributed to direct dissociation on S1 surface. Compared with HNCO, the direct dissociation pathway for DNCO photodissociation opens at higher excitation energy. According to our assignment of the NCO internal energy distribution, dominantly bending and a little stretching excited NCO was produced via both dissociation pathways.

Absorption and Recurrence Spectra of Nonhydrogenic Rydberg Atom Near a Metal Surface

Multielectron to theoretical treatments atoms near a metal surface are essentially more complicated than hydrogen atom with regard By using the semicalssical dosed orbit theory generalized to the multielecton atoms, we study the dynamical properties of the Rydberg lithium atom near a metal surface. The photoabsorption spectra and recurrence spectra of this system have also been calculated. Considering the effect of the ionic core potential of the Rydberg lithium atom, the number of the closed orbits increases, which leads to more peaks in the recurrence spectra than the case of hydrogen atom near a metal surface. This result shows that the core-scattered effects play an important role in nonhydrogenic atoms. This study is a new application of the closed-orbit theory and is of potential experimental interest.

Crossed Beam Study on the F+D2→DF+D Reaction at Hyperthermal Collision Energy of 23.84 kJ/mol

We presented an experimental apparatus combining the H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique and the laser detonation source for studying crossed beam reactions at hyperthermal collision energies. The preliminary study of the F+D2→DF+D reaction at hyperthermal collision energy of 23.84 kJ/mol was performed. Two beam sources were used in this study: one is the hyperthermal F beam source produced by a laser detonation process, and the other is D2 beam source generated by liquid-N2 cooled pulsed valve. Vibrational state-resolved di erential cross sections (DCSs) of product for the title reaction were determined. From the product vibrational state-resolved DCS, it can be concluded that products DF(v'=0, 1, 2, 3) are predominantly distributed in the sideway and backward scattering directions at this collision energy. However, the highest vibrational excited product DF(v'=4), is clearly peaked in the forward direction. The probable dynamical origins for these forward scattering products were analyzed and discussed.

Ultraviolet Photodissociation Dynamics of 1-Pentyl Radical

The ultraviolet （UV） photodissociation of jet-cooled 1-pentyl radical is investigated in the wavelength region of 236-254 nm using the high-n Rydberg-atom time-of-flight （HRTOF） technique. The H-atom photofragment yield spectrum of the 1-pentyl radical shows a broad UV absorption feature peaking near 245 nm, similar to the 2pz→3s absorption bands of ethyl and n-propyl. The center-of-mass translational energy distribution, P（ET）, of the H＋CsH10 product channel is bimodal, with a slow peak at -5 kcal/mol and a fast peak at -50 kcal/mol. The fraction of the average translational energy release in the total available energy, （fT）, is 0.30, with those of the slow and fast components being 0.13 and 0.58, respectively. The slow component has an isotropic product angular distribution, while the fast component is anisotropic with an anisotropy parameter -0.4. The bimodal translational energy and angular distributions of the H＋C5H10 products indicate two H-atom elimination channels in the photodissociation of 1-pentyl： （i） a direct, prompt dissociation from the electronic excited state and/or the repulsive part of the ground electronic state potential energy surface; and （ii） a unimolecular dissociation of internally hot radical in the ground electronic state after internal conversion from the electronic excited state.

Quantum State-to-State Vacuum Ultraviolet Photodissociation Dynamics of Small Molecules

The present review focused on selected, recent experimental progress of photodissociation dynamics of small molecules covering the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range from 6 eV to 20 eV. These advancements come about due to the available laser based VUV light sources along with the developments of advanced experimental techniques, including the velocitymap imaging (VMI), H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight (HRTOF) techniques, as well as the two-color tunable VUV-VUV laser pump-probe detection method. The applications of these experimental techniques have allowed VUV photodissociation studies of many diatomic and triatomic molecules to quantum state-to-state in detail. To highlight the recent accomplishments, we have summarized the results on several important molecular species, including H2 (D2, HD), CO, N2, NO, O2, H2O (D2O, HOD), CO2, and N2O. The detailed VUV photodissociation studies of these molecules are of astrochemical and atmospheric relevance. Since molecular photodissociation initiated by VUV excitation is complex and is often governed by multiple electronic potential energy surfaces, the unraveling of the complex dissociation dynamics requires state-to-state cross section measurements. The newly constructed Dalian Coherent Light Source (DCLS), which is capable of generating coherent VUV radiation with unprecedented brightness in the range of 50-150 nm, promises to propel the photodissociation experiment to the next level.
