Hydrogenic Ion Recombination
Abstract
This project studied dissociative recombination of hydrogenic molecules H2(+) and H3(+). High lying Rydberg states were found to play a principle role in the determination of final products from dissociative recombination reactions essentially independent of reaction channel. These processes play important roles in the chemistry of volume H(-) ion sources. This is the simplest molecular ion and is amendable to accurate theoretical calculation provided the reaction mechanism is well understood. In H2+, the repulsive neutral state through which the recombination proceeds passes through the ion curve in the vicinity of the v=1 level.
