Mass Spectrometric Investigation of Reactions of Electronically Excited Neutral Particles with Alkali Metal Atoms

摘要: RECENT development of radiation chemistry, gaseous electronics, plasma physics, and reaction kinetics in flames requires full understanding elementary reactions occurring highly energized systems. A substantial class these represent those between excited neutral particles atoms or molecules (collisions the second kind). However, knowledge processes is so far very limited, even though their important role, for example, ionization phenomena mixtures (Penning effect) has been known a long time1. The need further investigation became particularly apparent when collisions kind were found, which unexpected ions like NeAr+, ArN2+, ArI+, CH4Xe+, C2H2Hg+ N2Hg+ are formed2–6.
