IONIC-MOLECULAR REACTIONS OF HYDROGEN WITH NOBLE GASES,
Abstract
The dependence of the yield of HeH(+) and HeD(+) ions on the energy of ionizing electrons in ionic-molecular reactions is investigated. It is shown that the relative yield of HeH(+) ions decreases in the electron energy field from 25 to 17 ev, and the ratio HeH(+)/HeD(+) is constant and approximately equal to 0.8 when the energy changes from 70 to 25 ev. The dependence of a cross section of a reaction on the vibrational state of an H2(+) ion is investigated in accordance with O. B. Firsov's ionic-molecular reaction theory. It is shown that an intermediate complex of this reaction decomposes into initial products with great probability, which decreases the HeH(+) yield. The experimental dependence of the HeH(+) yield on electron energy agrees with the theory. (Author)
