Collision-induced dissociation of ∼2-MeV O+3 and N+3 ions
- 2013

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a study into the collision-induced dissociation (possibly including electron stripping) of O-3(+) and N-3(+) with rest gas molecules (predominantly H-2) in the heavy-ion storage ring CRYRING. The projectile ions had kinetic energies of 1.96 MeV (O-3(+)) and 2.25 MeV (N-3(+)) and from the experimental data we could derive the relative importance of the channels that produce at least one neutral product fragment. The dominant type of fragmentation for both ions involves the production of a single neutral fragment, namely an individual atom. We also find pronounced dissimilarities when comparing the O-3(+) and N-3(+) results, which we link to the stronger chemical bonds in the nitrogen system.

Electron-impact dissociation of XH2+ (X = B, C, N, O, F) : Absolute cross sections for production of XH+ and X+ fragment ions
- 2010
-
In: Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. - 1050-2947 .- 1094-1622. ; 82:4, s. 042720-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Absolute cross sections for electron-impact dissociation of XH2+ (X = B, C, N, O, F) producing XH+ and X+ ion fragments were measured in the 3- to 100-eV range using a crossed-electron-ion beams technique. Dissociative excitation of BD2+ and CH2+ producing B+ and C+, respectively, show a propensity toward a two-body dissociation while the remaining species all tend to show a three-body dissociation dynamic. The BD+ and CH+ dissociative excitation channels show a large resonant-type contribution to the cross sections at similar to 10eV. For the X+ fragment ion production cross sections, a clear dependence on the threshold energy, as it relates to the rate of rise in the cross section above threshold, is observed.

Electron-impact dissociative excitation and ionization of N(2)D(+)
- 2011

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Absolute cross sections for electron-impact dissociation of N(2)D(+) producing N(2)(+), ND(+), and N(+) ion fragments were measured in the 5- to 100-eV range using a crossed electron-ion beams technique. In the 5- to 20-eV region, in which dissociative excitation (DE) is the principal contributing mechanism, N(2)(+) production dominates. The N(2)(+) + D dissociation channel shows a large resonant-like structure in the DE cross section, as observed previously in electron impact dissociation of triatomic dihydride species [M. Fogle, E. M. Bahati, M. E. Bannister, S. H. M. Deng, C. R. Vane, R. D. Thomas, and V. Zhaunerchyk, Phys. Rev. A 82, 042720 (2010)]. In the dissociative ionization (DI) region, 20- to 100-eV, N(2)(+), ND(+), and N(+) ion fragment production are comparable. The observance of the ND(+) and N(+) ion fragments indicate breaking of the N-N bond along certain dissociation channels.

Electron-impact ionization of Be-like CIII, NIV, and OV

In: Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. - : American Astronomical Society. - 0067-0049 .- 1538-4365. ; 175:2, s. 543-556

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present recent measurements of absolute electron-impact ionization cross sections for Be-like C III, N IV, and O V forming Li- like C IV, N V, and O VI. The measurements were taken using the crossed-beams apparatus at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A gas cell beam attenuation method was used to independently measure the metastable fractions present in the ion beams. The measured ionization cross sections were compared with calculations using the R-matrix with pseudostates and distorted-wave theoretical methods. Best agreement is found with the R-matrix with pseudostates cross sections results that account for the metastable fractions inferred from the gas attenuation measurements. We present a set of recommended rate coefficients for electron-impact single ionization from the ground state and metastable term of each ion.

Electron-impact dissociation of CD3+ and CH3+ ions producing CD2+, CH+ and C+ fragment ions
- 2009
-
In: Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. - 1050-2947 .- 1094-1622. ; 79:5, s. 52703-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using a crossed electron-ion beams method, we measured absolute cross sections for electron-impact dissociation of the CD3+ molecular ions producing CD2+ fragment ions and CH3+ ions yielding CH+ and C+ fragment ions over a collision energy range from a few eV up to 100 eV. The total experimental uncertainties are about 12% at the maximum of the curves of cross sections (peak of the cross section for the CH+ channel). The obtained results suggest important roles played by predissociation of bound states in the production of both the CH+ and C+ fragment ions. Good agreement is found with other results reported for the CH+ fragment, but some differences are found for the CD2+ and C+ fragments.

Investigating the breakup dynamics of dihydrogen sulfide ions recombining with electrons
- 2005

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents results concerning measurements of the dissociative recombination (DR) of dihydrogen sulfide ions. In combination with the ion storage ring CRYRING an imaging technique was used to investigate the breakup dynamics of the three-body channel in the DR of (SD2+)-S-32. The two energetically available product channels S(P-3)+2D(S-2) and S(D-1)+2D(S-2) were both populated, with a branching fraction of the ground-state channel of 0.6(0.1). Information about the angle between the two deuterium atoms upon dissociation was obtained together with information about how the available kinetic energy was distributed between the two light fragments. The recombination cross sections as functions of energy in the interval of 1 meV to 0.3 eV in the center-of-mass frame are presented for (SH2+)-S-34. The thermal rate coefficient for the DR of (SH2+)-S-34 was determined to be (4.8 +/- 1.0)x10(-7)(T/300)(-0.72 +/- 0.1) cm(3) s(-1) over this interval.

Hot Water from Cold. The Dissociative Recombination of Water Cluster Ions

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Dissociative recombination of the Zundel cation D(5)O(2)(+) almost exclusively produces D + 2 D(2)O with a maximum kinetic energy release of 5.1 eV. An imaging technique is used to investigate the distribution of the available reaction energy among these products. Analysis shows that as much as 4 eV can be stored internally by the molecular fragments, with a preference for producing highly excited molecular fragments, and that the deuteron shows a nonrandom distribution of kinetic energies. A possible mechanism and the implications for these observations are addressed.
