Low-lying resonances in electron-argon scattering: Measurements at 5-meV resolution and comparison with theory

Franz, K. ; Hoffmann, T. H. ; Bömmels, J. ; Gopalan, A. ; Sauter, G. ; Meyer, W. ; Allan, Michael ; Ruf, M.-W. ; Hotop, H.

In: Physical Review A, 2008, vol. 78, no. 1, p. 012712

Combining a laser photoelectron source with a triply differentially pumped supersonic beam target and several electron multipliers for simultaneous detection of electrons elastically scattered into the angles 22.5°, 45°, 90°, 112.5°, and 135° and of metastable atoms due to inelastic scattering, we have carried out an improved study of electron-argon scattering over the energy range...

Vibrational excitation of methane by slow electrons revisited: theoretical and experimental study

Čurík, R ; Čársky, P ; Allan, Michael

In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2008, vol. 41, no. 11, p. 115203

We have calculated and measured differential and integral cross sections for vibrationally inelastic scattering of electrons by methane molecules. The calculations were carried out using the discrete momentum representation (DMR) method. We solved the two-channel Lippmann–Schwinger equation in the momentum space. The interaction between the scattered electron and the target molecule is...

Electron scattering in ethene: Excitation of the ã³B1u state, elastic scattering, and vibrational excitation

Allan, Michael ; Winstead, C. ; McKoy, V.

In: Physical Review A, 2008, vol. 77, p. 042715

Experimental and calculated absolute differential cross sections for the scattering of low-energy electrons from ethene are presented. Emphasis is on the excitation of the ã³B1u³(π,π*) state, but selected elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections are also given. In contrast to earlier calculations, which were nearly a factor of 2 too large,...

Cleavage of the ether bond by electron impact: differences between linear ethers and tetrahydrofuran

Ibănescu, Bogdan C. ; May, Olivier ; Allan, Michael

In: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2008, vol. 10, p. 1507-1511

Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to diethyl ether yielded primarily the C₂H₅O⁻ ion, with a strong Feshbach resonance band at 9.1 eV and a weaker shape resonance band at 3.89 eV. Very similar spectra were obtained for dibutyl ether, with C₄H₉O⁻ bands at 8.0 and 3.6 eV. Some of these primary ions subsequently lost H₂ and yielded weaker signals of the C₂H₃O⁻ and...

Absolute angle-differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections for electron collisions with tetrahydrofuran

Allan, Michael

In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2007, vol. 40, no. 17, p. 3531

Absolute angle-differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections for electron collisions with tetrahydrofuran were measured in the energy range 0.1–20 eV, extending existing measurements to lower energies. The elastic cross sections were measured as a function of scattering angle from 10° to 180° at energies of 2 eV, 6 eV, 10 eV and 20 eV, and as a function of electron energy at...

Electron-induced chemistry of alcohols

Ibănescu, Bogdan C. ; May, Olivier ; Monney, Angèle ; Allan, Michael

In: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2007, vol. 9, p. 3163-3173

We studied dissociative electron attachment to a series of compounds with one or two hydroxyl groups. For the monoalcohols we found, apart from the known fragmentations in the 6–12 eV range proceeding via Feshbach resonances, also new weaker processes at lower energies, around 3 eV. They have a steep onset at the dissociation threshold and show a dramatic D/H isotope effect. We assigned...

Vibrational excitation of hydrogen fluoride by low-energy electrons: theory and experiment

Cízek, M. ; Horáček, J. ; Allan, Michael ; Fabrikant, I. I. ; Domcke, W.

In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular And Optical Physics, 2003, vol. 36, no. 13, p. 2837-2849

Vibrational excitation (VE) of HF by low-energy electrons has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. A new nonlocal resonance model has been constructed based on ab initio calculations of the coupling between a discrete state and continuum states. VE and resonant elastic cross sections have been calculated for a set of initial vibrational states of the molecular target. New...

Threshold peaks and structures in elastic and vibrationally inelastic electron impact cross sections for CS₂

Allan, Michael

In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular And Optical Physics, 2003, vol. 36, no. 12, p. 2489-2500

Elastic, vibrationally inelastic and superelastic cross sections were measured for electron impact on CS₂ at 135°, with emphasis on the threshold region. The elastic cross section rises dramatically at low energies. The cross sections for the excitation of all three fundamental vibrations (010), (100) and (001) have very strong threshold peaks, more than ten times higher than those observed...

Properties of the π* and σ* states of the chlorobenzene anion determined by electron impact spectroscopy

Skalický, Tomás ; Chollet, Christophe ; Pasquier, Nicolas ; Allan, Michael

In: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2002, vol. 4, p. 3583 - 3590

The selectivity of vibrational excitation by electron impact has been used to unambiguously assign the negative ion states (resonances) of chlorobenzene and to settle a recent controversy on this subject. The excitation functions of the ring deformation vibrations exhibit bands in the 0.8–1.4 eV range, identifying them as temporary electron captures in the b₁ and...
