Threshold Photoelectron-photoion Coincidence Imaging of Dissociation Dynamic of NO＋ at c3∏（v′=0） State

The photodissociation of NO＋ at c3∏（v′=0） state is studied by threshold photoelectron- photoion coincidence imaging method. By some assumptions, the relations between velocity in center of mass （CM） coordinates and most probable center of mass （MPCM） coordinates, time of flight and displacement in the velocity map image of fragment ions are derived using vector addition of velocity and displacement on the condition of perpendicular molecular beam. Using these relations the velocity in CM coordinates, the velocity and angular distri- bution of N＋ fragment ions in MPCM coordinates are obtained and discussed, respectively.

Geometric structure of N_(2)O^(q+)(q=5,6)studied by Ne^(8+)ion-induced Coulomb explosion imaging

We report the study on the complete three-body Coulomb explosion(CE)of N_(2)O^(q+)(q=5,6)induced by 56-keV/u Ne8+ion collision with N2O gaseous molecule.Six CE channels for N_(2)O^(5+)and seven for N_(2)O^(6+)are identified by measuring three ionic fragments and the charge-changed projectile in quadruple coincidence.Correspondingly the kinetic energy release(KER)and momentum correlation angle(MCA)distributions of three ionic fragments for each of the CE channels are also deduced.Numerical computation is presented to reconstruct the geometric structure of N_(2)O^(q+0prior to dissociation based on the measured KER and MCA.The N–N and N–O bond lengths and the N–N–O bond angles of N_(2)O^(q+)for each of the channels are determined.

Multi-reference configuration-interaction calculations on multiply charged ions of carbon monosulfide

The potential energy curves for neutrals and multiply charged ions of carbon monosulfide are computed with highly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction wavefunctions.The correlations of inner-shell electrons with the scalar relativistic effects are included in the present computations.The spectroscopic constants,dissociation energies,ionization energies for ground and low-lying excited states together with corresponding electronic configurations of ions are obtained,and a good agreement between the present work and existing experiments is found.No theoretical evidence is found for the adiabatically stable CSq＋（q〉2） ions according to the present ab initio calculations.The calculated values for 1st-6th ionization energies are 11.25,32.66,64.82,106.25,159.75,and 224.64 eV,respectively.The kinetic energy release data of fragments are provided by the present work for further experimental comparisons.

Direct Coulomb explosion of N2O2+induced by monochromatic extreme ultraviolet photons at 38.5 eV

The direct Coulomb explosion of N2O2+has been investigated experimentally after double-ionization by a single extreme ultraviolet(EUV)photon with an energy of ~38.5 eV.From the ion–ion time-of-flight coincidence spectrum,the de-nitrogenation(N2O2+→N++NO+)and de-oxygenation(N2O2+→O++N+2)photodissociation channels of N2O2+are unequivocally identified.The measured kinetic energy release(KER)distribution of the de-nitrogenation channel presents a major peak accompanied by a shoulder structure.We find that the major peak can be attributed to the direct photodissociation of the 11△and 1^1Σ+states,while the shoulder structure should be ascribed to the predissociation of the1^1△and 1^1Σ+states via 13Πstate.

Ultraviolet Photodissociation Dynamics of m-Bromofluorobenzene at around 240 nm

The photodissociation dynamics of m-brornofluorobenzene has been experimentally investi- gated at around 240 nrn using the DC-slice velocity map imaging technique. The kinetic energy release spectra and the recoiling angular distributions of fragmented Br（2P3/2） and Br（2P1/2） atoms from photodissociation of m-bromofluorobenzene have been measured at diff）rent photolysis wavelengths around 240 nm. The experimental results indicate that two dissociation pathways via （pre-）dissociation of the two low-lying 1ππ excited states dominate the production process of the ground state Br（2P3/2） atoms. Because of the weak spin-orbit coupling eff）ct among the low-lying triplet and singlet states, the spin-orbit excited Br（2P1/2） atoms are mainly produced via singlet-triplet state coupling in the dissociation step. The similarity between the present results and that recently reported for o-bromofluorobenzene indicates that the substitution position of the fluorine atom does not significantly affect the UV photodissociation dynamics of bromofluorobenzenes.
