The Coulomb explosion of K-shell ionized krypton clusters with an average size N of 160 has been studied by electron-multiple-ion-coincidence measurements in which the time-of-flight (TOF) of ions was measured by using a position sensitive detector. The authors have sorted the TOF spectra by the number of coincidence ion signals, Ncoin, and found that singly charged fragment ions such as Kr+, Kr2+, and Kr3+ are dominant for Ncoin>or=2, and that multiply charged ions are detected mainly for Ncoin=1. The Ncoin dependence of the peak widths in the TOF spectra reveals that the average momentum of the Kr+ ions increases with Ncoin, while those of Kr2+ and Kr3+ decrease. These results have been more directly confirmed by the momentum imaging measurements. The authors propose that the heavier ions are produced in the central part of clusters where the Coulomb interactions from the surrounding ions are more effectively canceled out due to the higher symmetry. 相似文献

The effect of intensity, duration, and polarization of ultrashort laser pulses (795 nm, 40-100 fs, and 0.15-1.5 × 10(15) W/cm(2)) on the hydrogen migration in methanol is systematically investigated using Coulomb explosion coincidence momentum imaging. The ratio of the ion yield obtained for the migration pathway CH(3)OH(2+) → CH(2)(+) + OH(2)(+) with respect to the sum of the yields obtained for the migration pathway and for the nonmigration pathway CH(3)OH(2+) → CH(3)(+) + OH(+) exhibits a small (10-20%) but clear dependence on laser pulse properties, that is, the ratio decreases as the laser peak intensity increases but increases when the pulse duration increases as well as when the laser polarization is changed from linear to circular. 相似文献

We address unifying features of fragmentation channels driven by long-range Coulomb or pseudo-Coulomb forces in clusters, nuclei, droplets, and optical molasses. We studied the energetics, fragmentation patterns, and dynamics of multicharged (A+)n (n=55, 135, 321) clusters. In Morse clusters the variation of the range of the pair-potential induced changes in the cluster surface energy and in the fissibility parameter X=E(Coulomb)2E(surface). X was varied in the range of X=1-8 for short-range interactions and of X=0.1-1.0 for long-range interactions. Metastable cluster configurations were prepared by vertical ionization of the neutral clusters and by subsequent structural equilibration. The energetics of these metastable ionic clusters was described in terms of the liquid drop model, with the coefficients of the volume and surface energies depending linearly on the Morse band dissociation energy. Molecular-dynamics simulations established two distinct fragmentation patterns of multicharged clusters that involve cluster fission into a small number of large, multicharged clusters for X<1 and Coulomb explosion into a large number of individual ions and small ionic fragments for X>1. The Rayleigh instability limit X=1 separates between spatially anisotropic fission and spatially isotropic Coulomb explosion. Distinct features of the fragmentation energetics and dynamics were unveiled. For fission of n=55 clusters, large kinetic and internal energies of the large fragments are exhibited and the characteristic fragmentation time is approximately 700 fs, while for Coulomb explosion the major energy content of the small fragments involves kinetic energy and the characteristic fragmentation time of approximately 300 fs is shorter. The Rayleigh (X=1) limit, leading to isotropic Coulomb explosion, is transcended by a marked enhancement of the Coulomb energy, which is realized for extremely ionized clusters in ultraintense laser fields, or by a dramatic reduction of the surface energy as is the case for the expansion of optical molasses. 相似文献

Electron-ion-coincidence spectra were recorded for K-shell excited krypton, argon, and neon clusters covering the size range from 1 atom to about 3000 atoms by utilizing hard x-ray undulator beamlines. Multiply charged ions Rz+(z>or=2) and singly charged ions Rn+(n>or=1) are observed as cluster fragments, and their relative abundance exhibits a characteristic dependence on the average cluster size N. It is expected from these results that the charges generated on the cluster surface are strongly localized while those in the cluster core are more delocalized. The estimated charge separation distance increases with N, and it is longer for lighter elements. 相似文献

The photodissociation dynamics of small I-(H2O)n(n=2-5) clusters excited to their charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) states have been studied using photofragment coincidence imaging. Upon excitation to the CTTS state, two photodissociation channels were observed. The major channel (approximately 90%) is a two-body process forming neutral I+(H2O)n photofragments, and the minor channel is a three-body process forming I+(H2O)n-1+H2O fragments. Both processes display translational energy [P(ET)] distributions peaking at ET=0 with little available energy partitioned into translation. Clusters excited to the detachment continuum rather than to the CTTS state display the same two channels with similar P(ET) distributions. The observation of similar P(ET) distributions from the two sets of experiments suggests that in the CTTS experiments, I atom loss occurs after autodetachment of the excited [I(H2O)n-]* cluster or, less probably, that the presence of the excess electron has little effect on the departing I atom. 相似文献

Abundances of ArN+ and XeN+ clusters produced in a supersonic expansion source are inverted to find relative dissociation energies. The values around the shell and subshell closings at N=55, 71, and 147 differ from theoretical values derived from ground-state energies of Lennard-Jones clusters. A significant part of the difference can be accounted for by the conformational entropies of surface atoms and vacancies. 相似文献

Fragmentation of the pyridine ring followed by K-shell excitation/ionization has been studied with 2-fluoropyridine (2FPy) by electron impact. Ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculations were also carried out to investigate the electronic states correlating with specific fragment ions. The fragment ions are produced characteristically at the N 1s edge, while the spectra observed at the F 1s and C 1s edges exhibit a small difference from that at the valence ionization. The production of the C(4)H(2)(+), C(4)H(3)(+) and C(4)H(2)F(+) ions indicates that the cleavage of the N-C6 and C2-C3 bonds or the N-C2 and C5-C6 bonds is likely to occur after the N 1s excitation/ionization. Ab initio MO calculations indicate that the former fission is likely to proceed through the n(N)(1)π(2)(1)π(3)(2) and n(N)(0)π(2)(2)π(3)(2) excited states of the parent molecular dication. On the other hand, the breakage of the N-C2 and C4-C5 bonds, which specifically proceeds at the N 1s edge for 2-methylpyridine, does not occur for 2FPy. The present calculation reveals that the products of this channel are unstable by the electronegativity of fluorine and that the relative energy of the Auger-final states of 2FPy is lowered by the reorganization and electron correlation effects. 相似文献

Doubly charged NH 3 ++ cations were produced by double photoionization of neutral ammonia molecules by using the synchrotron radiation from ACO as a photon source of variable energy in the 35–49 eV energy range. The fragmentation of NH 3 ++ was studied by the photoion-photoion coincidence (PIPICO) method. NH 3 ++ cations were produced in the \(\tilde X^1 \) A 1 and \(\tilde B^1 \) electronic states of which the onset energies were measured at, respectively, 35.4±0.5 eV and 44.5±0.5 eV. It was shown that the NH 3 ++ ions, initially produced in their \(\tilde X^1 \) A 1 state, rapidly dissociate (in less than 50 ns), into NH 2 + + H+. Furthermore, the comparison with results obtained by other methods indicates that NH 3 ++ ions can either be long-lived (τ>10 µs) or slowly dissociating (1 µs<τ<10 µs) or rapidly dissociating (τ<50 ns), depending on their geometry and/or internal energy in their \(\tilde X^1 \) E A 1 electronic state. 相似文献

Motivated by the recent experiments of the Swedish group [M. Tchaplyguine, R. R. Marinho, M. Gisselbrecht et al., J. Chem. Phys. 120, 345 (2004)], we simulate the photoelectron spectra of pure xenon and argon clusters. The clusters are modeled using molecular dynamics with Hartree-Fock-dispersion type pair potentials while the spectrum is calculated as the sum of final state energy shifts of the atoms ionized within the cluster relative to the isolated gas phase ion. A self-consistent polarization formalism is used. Since signal electrons must travel through the cluster to reach the detector, we have accounted for the attenuation of the signal intensity by integrating an exponentially decaying scattering expression over the geometry of the cluster. Several different approaches to determining the required electron mean free paths (as a function of electron kinetic energy) are considered. Our simulated spectra are compared to the experimental results. 相似文献

The isomerization of acetylene via hydrogen migration in intense laser fields (8 x 10(14) W/cm2) has been investigated by coincidence momentum imaging of the three-body Coulomb explosion process, C2H2 (3+)-->H+ + C+ + CH+. When ultrashort (9 fs) laser pulses are used, the angle between the momenta of C+ and H+ fragments exhibits a sharp distribution peaked at a small angle ( approximately 20 degrees ), showing that the hydrogen atom remains near the original carbon site in the acetylene configuration. On the other hand, a significantly broad distribution extending to larger momentum angles ( approximately 120 degrees ) is observed when the pulse duration is increased to 35 fs, indicating that the ultrafast isomerization to vinylidene is induced in the longer laser pulse. 相似文献

Utilizing threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) velocity imaging, dissociation of state-selected CH(3)Cl(+) ions was investigated in the excitation energy range of 11.0-18.5 eV. TPEPICO time-of-flight mass spectra and three-dimensional time-sliced velocity images of CH(3)(+) dissociated from CH(3)Cl(+)(A(2)A(1) and B(2)E) ions were recorded. CH(3)(+) was kept as the most dominant fragment ion in the present energy range, while the branching ratio of CH(2)Cl(+) fragment was very low. For dissociation of CH(3)Cl(+)(A(2)A(1)) ions, a series of homocentric rings was clearly observed in the CH(3)(+) image, which was assigned as the excitation of umbrella vibration of CH(3)(+) ions. Moreover, a dependence of anisotropic parameters on the vibrational states of CH(3)(+)(1(1)A') provided a direct experimental evidence of a shallow potential well along the C-Cl bond rupture. For CH(3)Cl(+)(B(2)E) ions, total kinetic energy released distribution for CH(3)(+) fragmentation showed a near Maxwell-Boltzmann profile, indicating that the Cl-loss pathway from the B(2)E state was statistical predissociation. With the aid of calculated Cl-loss potential energy curves of CH(3)Cl(+), CH(3)(+) formation from CH(3)Cl(+)(A(2)A(1)) ions was a rapid direct fragmentation, while CH(3)Cl(+)(B(2)E) ions statistically dissociated to CH(3)(+) + Cl via internal conversion to the high vibrational states of X(2)E. 相似文献

The valence threshold photoelectron spectrum of NF3 is reported for the first time in the literature, and threshold photoelectron–photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) spectroscopy has measured, state-selectively, the decay dynamics of the valence states of NF3+ in the range 13–23 eV. Vacuum–UV radiation from the Daresbury synchrotron source dispersed by a 1 m Seya-Namioka monochromator photoionises the parent molecules. Electrons and ions are detected by threshold electron analysis and time-of-flight mass spectrometry, respectively. TPEPICO spectra are recorded continuously as a function of photon energy, allowing coincidence ion yields of the fragment ions and the breakdown diagram to be obtained. A comparison of the integrated threshold photoelectron and the total ion signals as a function of energy suggests that, in the range 16–19 eV, autoionisation via Rydberg states of NF3 makes a significant contribution to the production of threshold electrons. The 50% crossover energy for production of NF2+ from NF3+ is determined to be 14.10±0.05 eV. The first onsets for NF2+ and NF+ production are 13.95±0.05 and 17.6±0.1 eV, respectively. The majority of the Franck–Condon region of the
ground state of NF3+ is stable with respect to dissociation to NF2+, whereas the unresolved
states and most of the
state dissociate exclusively to NF2+. The
and
states dissociate to NF+. Translational kinetic energy releases have been measured in NF2+ and NF+ at the energies of the Franck–Condon maxima of the valence states of NF3+. The results are compared with models assuming statistical and impulsive dissociation. The Ã/
states of NF3+ dissociate directly from the excited-state potential energy surface to NF2+, whereas the higher-lying
state probably dissociates off the ground-state surface following rapid internal conversion. It is not possible to correlate unambiguously the formation of NF+ with either F2 or 2F, although on energetic grounds the latter products are more likely. Assuming that the neutral products are 2F, no information is obtained whether the two N–F bonds break simultaneously or sequentially. 相似文献

The Coulomb explosion dynamics of N2O in intense laser fields (800 nm, 60 fs, approximately 0.16 PWcm2) is studied by the coincidence momentum imaging method. From the momentum correlation maps obtained for the three-body fragmentation pathway, N2O3+-->N++N++O+, the ultrafast structural deformation dynamics of N2O prior to the Coulomb explosion is extracted. It is revealed that the internuclear N-N and N-O distances stretch simultaneously as the bond angle less than approximately N-N-O decreases. In addition, two curved thin distributions are identified in the momentum correlation maps, and are interpreted well as those originating from the sequential dissociation pathway, N2O3+-->N++NO2+-->N++N++O+. 相似文献

Electron-ion-ion coincidence measurements carried out at discrete resonances near the N 1s threshold in ammonia are reported. The measured coincidence spectra show clear alignment of the molecule upon resonant core-electron excitation. The coincidence data are analyzed to extract information about the molecule in the excited state by simulating the alignment and the dissociation processes. Dynamic changes in molecular geometry are found as the photon energy is scanned through the N 1s-->4a(1) resonance, whereas for the N 1s-->2e state the geometry and kinetic energy released upon dissociation remain unchanged. The alignment of the core-excited molecules is found to be preserved even in two-step dissociation processes. 相似文献

Photoionisation experiments were performed with heterogeneous Ar-Xe-clusters produced by supersonic expansion of argon gas with small quantities of xenon added to it. A threshold-electron photoionisation (TEPICO) technique was used to obtain time of flight cluster mass spectra. These mass spectra show particularly strong intensities for Ar12Xe+ and Ar18Xe+ which are attributed to the extraordinary stabilities of these cluster ions. Maxima in the ionic size distribution around Ar7Xe+ are related to a particular abundance ofneutral Ar12Xe which is fragmented after ionization. These stabilities are explained in terms of geometries consisting of a central Xe atom or ion surrounded by shells of Ar atoms. Filled shells exhibit particular strong bonding because these exhibit the largest number of atom-atom bonds. This conclusion is supported by simple theoretical calculations. The ionization process is discussed in terms of two direct and one indirect ionization channels the latter one proceeding via an intermediate electronic excitation of the Ar component in the neutral cluster. 相似文献

The photodissociation of N(2)O at wavelengths near 130 nm has been investigated by velocity-mapped product imaging. In all, five dissociation channels have been detected, leading to the following products: O((1)S)+N(2)(X (1)Sigma), N((2)D)+NO(X (2)Pi), N((2)P)+NO(X (2)Pi), O((3)P) + N(2)(A (3)Sigma(+) (u)), and O((3)P) + N(2)(B (3)Pi(g)). The most significant channel is to the products O((1)S) + N(2)(X(1)Sigma), with strong vibrational excitation in the N(2). The O((3)P) + N(2)(A,B):N((2)D,(2)P) + NO branching ratio is measured to be 1.4 +/- 0.5, while the N(2)(A) + O((3)P(J)):N(2)(B) + O((3)P(J)) branching ratio is determined to be 0.84+/-0.09. The spin-orbit distributions for the O((3)P(J)), N((2)P(J)), and N((2)D(J)) products were also determined. The angular distributions of the products are in qualitative agreement with excitation to the N(2)O(D (1)Sigma(+)) state, with participation as well by the (3)Pi(v) state. 相似文献

Using electric-field anticrossing techniques, we investigated the coherent excitation ofn=5–8 He I states with different orbital angular momenta by proton impact. These measurements give strong evidence that saddle dynamics of H 2 + -like systems are well suited for describing the final phase of 12.5 keV H+-He collisions. We conclude that, besides electron promotion via the 2pσ orbital, the collision system undergoes diabatic 1sσ–3dσ transitions during the close encounter and present an explanation of the electric dipole moments measured for excitation of H(n=2) states by H+-He and H-He collisions. 相似文献

Fragmentation of doubly charged argon clusters is reported. Neutral argon clusters are excited with monochromatized synchrotron radiation in the energy regime of the argonL 3/L 2 absorption edges (240–260 eV) leading predominantly to cluster dication formation. All charged particles are detected in a photoelectron-photoion-photoion-concidence (PEPIPICO) experiment. Symmetric and asymmetric charge separation reactions (Coulomb explosion) are identified for clusters below the critical size of stable dication formation. The peak shapes of the coincidence signals are investigated as a function of neutral cluster size. Characteristic changes in peak shape are observed which are used to derive fragmentation mechanisms involving sequential evaporation of neutrals before and after charge separation. The spectra indicate in accordance with low kinetic energy releases occurring in charge separation of large dissociative cluster dications (Ar n 2+ , withn>50) that due to large charge separation distances the momenta of both singly charged fragments are not any more directed into opposite direction, as it is typical for Coulomb explosion. The results are compared to collision induced fragmentation of mass selected argon cluster dications as well as photon stimulated desorption spectra of condensed argon. 相似文献

The decay of internal energy selected 1-chloropropyne cations is investigated using the fixed wavelength (He-Iα) photoelectron-photoion coincidence technique. The breakdown curves of the molecular ion and the C3H2Cl+, C3HCl+, CCl+, C3H+3, C3H+3, C3H+ fragment ions are reported. For 1-chloropropyne cations initially formed in their 2E state it is found that four fragmentation channels compete with a non-dissociative relaxation pathway. The average kinetic energies released on formation of C3H+3 and C3H+3 are deduced from the time-of-flight distributions of these fragment ions measured at different internal energies of the molecular ion. The coincidence data are supplemented by electron impact appearance energies. The obtained decay pattern of 1-chloropropyne cation is compared with the breakdown diagrams reported for the C3H+4 isomers, i.e. allene-, propyne- and cyclopropene cations. 相似文献
