Photogeneration and Characterization of Energetic Molecules in Supersonic Molecular Beams
Abstract
A variety of weakly bound and/or metastable molecules have been investigated in the environment of a pulsed supersonic molecular beam. Experiments were attempted with little success for the production of metastable oxygen ring systems. Other experiments focused on metal ion and metal neutral complexes with small molecules or rare gas atoms. Spectroscopic studies were successful for magnesium ion complexes with the rare gases and with carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen. Aluminum atom van der Waals complexes were studied with high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy. These studies obtained a variety of new data on metal condensation energetics and the structure of the initial phases of condensation.
