Rotational state effects in the dissociative recombination of H2+

We have studied the dissociative recombination (DR) of molecular hydrogen ions with slow electrons over a range of collision energies from 0 to 400 meV. By employing a pulsed expansion source for rotational cooling and by exploiting super elastic collisions with near-0-eV electrons in a heavy ion storage ring for vibrational cooling, we observe a highly structured DR cross section, comparable to that reported for HD+. Using para-hydrogen-enriched ion beams, we identify for the first time features in the DR cross sections attributed to nu=0, J=even molecules (para-H2) and nu=0, J=odd (ortho-H2) molecules, separately. Indications are given that para levels have different DR rate coefficients from ortho levels for the first four vibrational levels at near-0-eV collisions.     

Structure and dynamics of highly charged heavy ions studied with the electron beam ion trap in Tokyo

In this paper, we present the structure and the dynamics of highly charged heavy ions studied through dielectronic recombination (DR) observations performed with the Tokyo electron beam ion trap. By measuring the energy dependence of the ion abundance ratio in the trap at equilibrium, we have observed DR processes for open shell systems very clearly. Remarkable relativistic effects due to the generalized Breit interaction have been clearly shown in DR for highly charged heavy ions. We also present the first result for the coincidence measurement of two photons emitted from a single DR event.     

Dielectronic recombination rate coefficient for Cu-like Au^50＋ ion

The rate coefficients α^{DR} of dielectronic recombination (DR) for Cu-like Au^{50+} ion collided with the incident free electron are calculated based on the quasi-relativistic multi-configuration Hartree－Fock theory. The results clearly show that the α^{DR} of all recombination channels exhibits resonance characters with electron temperature. At lower temperatures, the recombination for electrons caused by 4s excitation is dominant through outer electron radiative transitions among the intermediate doubly excited autoionizing levels, in which the most components come from 3d^{10}5pns states, whereas with increasing electron temperature, DR caused by 3d excitation turns out to be dominant, and the contribution from the 3d^94s4fnf state to the total rate coefficient of electron 3d is the largest with α^{DR}=1.15×10^{- 11} cm^3·s^{-1} at an electron temperature of T_e=0.35 keV. Under this condition, there exists a strong competition between the two types of recombination channels.     

Nuclear spin effect on recombination of H₃⁺ ions with electrons at 77 K

Utilizing different ratios of para to ortho H? in normal and para enriched hydrogen, we varied the population of para-H?? in an H?? dominated plasma at 77 K. Absorption spectroscopy was used to measure the densities of the two lowest rotational states of H??. Monitoring plasma decays at different populations of para-H?? allowed us to determine the rate coefficients for binary recombination of para-H?? and ortho-H?? ions: (p)α(bin)(77 K) = (1.9 ± 0.4) × 10?? cm3 s?1 and (o)α(bin)(77 K) = (0.2 ± 0.2) × 10?? cm3 s?1.     

Precision measurements and computations of transition energies in rotationally cold triatomic hydrogen ions up to the midvisible spectral range

First-principles computations and experimental measurements of transition energies are carried out for vibrational overtone lines of the triatomic hydrogen ion H(3)(+) corresponding to floppy vibrations high above the barrier to linearity. Action spectroscopy is improved to detect extremely weak visible-light spectral lines on cold trapped H(3)(+) ions. A highly accurate potential surface is obtained from variational calculations using explicitly correlated Gaussian wave function expansions. After nonadiabatic corrections, the floppy H(3)(+) vibrational spectrum is reproduced at the 0.1 cm(-1) level up to 16600 cm(-1).

Experimental set-up for irradiation of solid H2 and D2 with charged particles of keV energies

An experimental facility was built where films of solid deuterium (and hydrogen) may be made with known thickness and irradiated with pulsed beams of electrons (up to 3 keV) and light ions (up to 10 keV). Films are made on a target plate held at 2.5–3 K. Film growth rate is calibrated with a quartz crystal film thickness monitor. The target plate, which can be heated so that films are removable by evaporation, may be used both as a calorimeter and as a beam current collector. Methods for measurement of secondary electron emission coefficients were developed, and preliminary measurements were made with electrons and hydrogen ions. For electron bombardment, the secondary electron emission coefficient of solid deuterium was much smaller than one. It was shown possible to use the set-up to study beam desorption of very thin films. Furthermore the set-up could be used for measuring the energy-reflection coefficient γ (i.e. the fraction of beam energy reflected from the target) for protons impinging on a heavy target material by using the target as a calorimeter.     

HIRFL-CSR电子冷却束流位置测量系统

高效率的电子冷却过程, 要求电子束与离子束位置平行且重叠。 为了同时测量电子束与离子束的位置, 在HIRFL CSR电子冷却装置上研发了以容性圆筒形极板为感应电极的束流位置探测系统。 系统测量束流通过探针时产生的脉冲感应信号, 并进行傅里叶变换得到频谱信号, 分析4个不同电极上频谱信号强度获取束流的位置信息。 测量结果表明, 该束流位置探测系统测量准确, 为定量研究储存环离子累积和电子冷却过程与两种束流相对位置及角度的依赖关系提供了条件。 The efficient electron cooling requires that the ion beam and electron beam are parallel and overlapped. In order to measure the positions of ion beam and electron beam simultaneously, a beam position monitor system is developed for the HIRFL-CSR electron cooler device, which probe consists of four capacitive cylinder linear cut poles. One can get the both beam positions from the picking up signals of four poles by using Fourier transform(FFT) method. The measurement results show that the beam position monitor system is accurate. This system is suitable for investigating the relation between electron cooling processing and the angle of ion beam and electron beam.

The Hydrogen Dissociator

A performance analysis is presented for the hydrogen dissociator used in hydrogen masers to provide a beam of atomic hydrogen. An analysis of the discharge characteristics yields relations for electron temperature as a function of vessel size and gas pressure and for plasma density as a function of power input. Also a relation between ion impact energy at the wall and electron temperature is derived. For a typical dissociator (2" diameter, 0.1 Torr hydrogen pressure, and 4 watt input power) these relationships yield an electron temperature of 39,000°K, a plasma density of 1011 cm-3 and an ion impact energy of 20 volts. The dissociation rate is calculated using published cross-sections. Assuming a recombination rate of 4 × 10-3, the analysis yields an atomic hydrogen density of about 1014 cm-3, a degree of dissociation of 2%, and an atomic beam flux of 1.3 × 1018 cm-2 × sec-1 for the example quoted. This beam flux is in good agreement with estimated values for hydrogen masers. A coefficient for performance ? is derived for the hydrogen dissociator, defined as the ratio of atomic beam flux to discharge power consumption. It is shown that ? is a function of the electron temperature and has a maximum at 87,000°K. It is concluded from this analysis that the discharge in presently used hydrogen dissociators is well optimized given the pressure constraints of the system.     

Enhancement of electron–ion recombination rates at low energy range in the heavy ion storage ring CSRm

Recombination of Ar¹⁴⁺, Ar¹⁵⁺, Ca¹⁶⁺, and Ni¹⁹⁺ ions with electrons has been investigated at low energy range based on the merged-beam method at the main cooler storage ring CSRm in the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou,China. For each ion, the absolute recombination rate coefficients have been measured with electron–ion collision energies from 0 meV to 1000 meV which include the radiative recombination(RR) and also dielectronic recombination(DR)processes. In order to interpret the measured results, RR cross sections were obtained from a modified version of the semiclassical Bethe and Salpeter formula for hydrogenic ions. DR cross sections were calculated by a relativistic configuration interaction method using the flexible atomic code(FAC) and AUTOSTRUCTURE code in this energy range. The calculated RR + DR rate coefficients show a good agreement with the measured value at the collision energy above 100 meV.However, large discrepancies have been found at low energy range especially below 10 meV, and the experimental results show a strong enhancement relative to the theoretical RR rate coefficients. For the electron–ion collision energy below 1 meV, it was found that the experimentally observed recombination rates are higher than the theoretically predicted and fitted rates by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9. The strong dependence of RR rate coefficient enhancement on the charge state of the ions has been found with the scaling rule of q^3.0, reproducing the low-energy recombination enhancement effects found in other previous experiments.     

Two- and three-body kinematical correlation in the dissociative recombination of H(3)(+)

Fragmentation patterns for dissociative recombination of the triatomic hydrogen molecular ion H(3)(+) in the vibrational ground state have been measured using the storage ring technique and molecular fragment imaging. A broad distribution of vibrational states in the H(2) fragment after two-body dissociation and a large predominance of nearly linear momentum geometries after three-body dissociation are found. The fragmentation results are directly contrasted with Coulomb explosion imaging data on the initial H(3)(+) geometry, compared to existing wave-packet calculations, and considered in the light of a simple physical picture.     

Experimental determination of the nu5 cis-bending vibrational frequency and Renner-Teller structure in ground state (X2Piu) C2H2+ using laser induced reactions

The spectrum of the nu(5) cis-bending vibration of ground state (X(2)Pi(u)) C(2)H(2)(+) has been recorded applying the method of laser induced reactions in a low-temperature 22-pole ion trap. It is obtained by counting the number of products of the reaction C(2)H(2)(+) (v(5) = 1) + H(2)--> C(2)H(3)(+) + H as a function of the laser wavelength. The vibronic transitions Delta-Pi and Sigma-Pi with their corresponding spin-orbit and Renner-Teller substructure have been observed. Using a perturbative analysis, the vibrational frequency has been determined to omega(5) = (710 +/- 4) cm(-1) and the Renner-Teller parameter epsilon(5) is on the order of 3 x 10(-2).

Strong field electron emission from fixed in space H(2)(+) ions

We have studied electron emission from the H(2)(+) ion by a circularly polarized laser pulse (800 nm, 6×10(14) W/cm(2)). The electron momentum distribution in the body fixed frame of the molecule is experimentally obtained by a coincident detection of electrons and protons. The data are compared to a solution of the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation in two dimensions. We find radial and angular distributions which are at odds with the quasistatic enhanced ionization model. The unexpected momentum distribution is traced back to a complex laser-driven electron dynamics inside the molecule influencing the instant of ionization and the initial momentum of the electron.

A novel chemical ionization reagent ion for organic analytes: the aquachloromanganese(II) cation [ClMn(H2O)+

The reactivity of ClMn(H(2)O)(+) towards small organic compounds (L) was examined in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer. The organic compounds studied are aliphatic and aromatic alcohols, aliphatic amines, ketones, an epoxide, an ether, a thiol and a phosphine. All the reactions lead to the formation of the ClMn(H(2)O)(L)(+) complex, which dissociates by loss of the H(2)O molecule. In general, the reactions were found to occur with high efficiencies (>85%), indicating them to be exothermic. Electron transfer was also observed between ClMn(H(2)O)(+) and compounds with low ionization energies (IE), to form the molecular ion (L(+?)) of the analyte. Based on these observations, the IE of ClMn(H(2)O)(+) is approximated to be 8.1?±?0.1 eV. Thus, the utility of ClMn(H(2)O)(+) as a chemical ionization reagent in mass spectrometry is expected to be limited to organic compounds with IEs greater than 8 eV.
