The (3 + 1) photon ionization spectra of SiH_4 have been measured. A basically continuous spectrum was recorded in laser wavelengths from 428 to 458 nm.Two vibrational progressions were found in the UV laser region of 347-392 nm, anda fine structure of the band at 363.5 nm was assigned.The fragment ions were detected by a time-offlight mass spectrometer. No parent ion SiH_4~+ was observed whereas SiH_2~+ and SiH_3~+ were the major products. The ratio of SiH_2~+/SiH_3~+ was approximately equal to that of single photon ionization at the same energy, but the fraction of Si~+ was increased. Some additional bands appeared in Si~+ spectrum in the range of 384-390 nm implicating that the increased Si~+ might be generated from SiH_2~+ and SiH~+ ions. 相似文献
A new atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source, viz. UniSpray, was evaluated for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of pharmaceutical compounds by head-to-head comparison with electrospray ionization (ESI) on the same high-resolution MS system. The atmospheric pressure ionization source is composed of a grounded nebulizer spraying onto a high voltage, cylindrical stainless steel target. Molecules are ionized in a similar fashion to electrospray ionization, predominantly producing protonated or deprotonated species. Adduct formation (e.g., proton and sodium adducts) and in-source fragmentation is shown to be almost identical between the two sources. The performance of the new API source was compared with electrospray by infusion of a mix of 22 pharmaceutical compounds with a wide variety of functional groups and physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, logP, and pKa) in more than 100 different conditions (mobile phase strength, solvents, pH, and flow rate). The new API source shows an intensity gain of a factor 2.2 compared with ESI considering all conditions on all compounds tested. Finally, some hypotheses on the ionization mechanism, similarities, and differences with ESI, are discussed.
Employing the semiclassical approximation we calculate within the coupled-state formalism the ionization probability in antiproton-hydrogen (p+H) collisions. In particular we investigate the adiabatic ionization at the distance of closest approach in almost central collisions. Striking differences in the electron excitation probability compared with proton-hydrogen (p+H) collisions are predicted. 相似文献
