Investigation of Electron Attachment in Polyatomic Molecules.

Abstract

Electron attachment to polyatomic molecules was studied using molecular beams of variable temperature crossed with an electron of high energy resolution. Species investigated include sulfur hexafluoride, molybdenum hexafluoride, and tungsten oxide polymers. New results were obtained in sulfur hexafluoride demonstrating importance of internal energy for the dissociative attachment in molybdenum hexafluoride. Tungsten oxide vapor exhibits both monomer and dimer negative ion formation near zero energy, apparently from dissociative attachment to the trimer. (Author)
