Applications of molecular Rydberg states in chemical dynamics and spectroscopy

摘要: Molecules in high Rydberg states, which one electron has been excited into a hydrogenic orbital of large mean radius, have many unusual properties compared to ground state molecules. These properties, are reviewed this article, make them suitable for diverse and growing number applications chemical dynamics. The most recent methods studying molecular states using high-resolution spectroscopy theory, including effects electric fields, described here. An important feature is the susceptibility external field perturbation not only profound effect on observable energy levels, spectroscopic intensities lifetimes, but also useful state-selective detection through ionization. dipole moment that can be created controlling motion molecules states. here include: ZEKE (zero kinetic energy), MATI (mass-analyzed threshold ionization) a...
