Guided-Ion Beam Measurements of the Kr(+) + NO Charge-Transfer Reaction

Abstract

Guided-ion beam measurements of Kr(+) + NO charge-transfer reaction cross sections are presented over a collision energy range of 0.08 to 16 eV (c. m.). At energies below 2 eV, the charge-transfer cross section is approximately two orders of magnitude smaller than the Langevin capture cross section and decreases with collision energy displaying an EsubT(-0.4) dependence. The cross section reaches a minimum at about 3 eV, increases with collision energy until about 8 eV, and then decreases abruptly at higher energies. N(+) and O(+) are observed at and above their respective thermodynamic thresholds. The results are discussed with respect to energy resonance and Franck-Condon models.
