Paul Burrow Publications

The energies, widths, and angular behavior of negative-ion resonances in zinc atoms are determined using the complementary experimental techniques of electron transmission and angular differential elastic scattering.


Electron Attachment To Trans-Azobenzene, Alberto Modelli, Paul Burrow Jan 2009

Electron Attachment To Trans-Azobenzene, Alberto Modelli, Paul Burrow

Paul Burrow Publications

The temporary anion states of gas-phase trans-azobenzene are characterized by means of electron transmission spectroscopy (ETS) in the 0–6 eV range. The measured energies of vertical electron attachment are compared with the energies of the π* virtual orbitals of the neutral molecule supplied by HF (at MP2 optimized geometries) and B3LYP calculations. The calculated energies, scaled with empirical equations, reproduce quantitatively the energies of the corresponding spectral features and predict a positive vertical electron affinity of 0.83 eV.

The total anion current at the walls of the collision chamber and the mass-selected molecular anion current are also reported as …
