Measurements of partial cross sections and photoelectron angular distributions for the photodetachment of Fe{sup -} and Cu{sup -} at visible photon wavelengths
Abstract
Photodetachment cross sections and the angular distributions of photoelectrons produced by the single-photon detachment of the transition metal negative ions Fe{sup -} and Cu{sup -} have been measured at four discrete photon wavelengths ranging from 457.9 to 647.1 nm (2.71-1.92 eV) using a crossed-beams laser photodetachment electron spectrometry (LPES) apparatus. Photodetachment cross sections were determined by comparing the photoelectron yields from the photodetachment of Fe{sup -} to those of Cu{sup -} and C{sup -}, which have known absolute photodetachment cross sections. Using the measured photodetachment cross sections, radiative electron attachment cross sections were calculated using the principle of detailed balance. Angular distributions were determined by measurements of laboratory frame, angle-, and energy-resolved photoelectrons as a function of the angle between the linear laser polarization vector and the momentum vector of the collected photoelectrons. Values of the asymmetry parameter have been determined by nonlinear least-squares fits to these angular distributions. The measured asymmetry parameters are compared to predictions of photodetachment models including Cooper and Zare's dipole approximation theory [J. Cooper and R. N. Zare, J. Chem. Phys. 48, 942 (1968)], and the angular momentum transfer theory developed by Fano and Dill [Phys. Rev. A 6, 185 (1972)].

Measurements of photoelectron angular distributions by single-photon detachment of Al{sup {minus}}, Si{sup {minus}}, and P{sup {minus}} at visible photon wavelengths
The spectral dependence of the angular distributions of photoelectrons produced by the single-photon detachment of Al{sup {minus}}, Si{sup {minus}}, and P{sup {minus}} ions has been measured at five discrete photon wavelengths ranging from 457.9 to 647.1 nm (2.71{endash}1.92 eV) using a crossed laser-ion beam apparatus. Values of the asymmetry parameter have been determined by fits to the photoelectron yield as a function of the angle between the laser polarization vector and the linear momentum vector of the collected photoelectrons. The experimental results for Al{sup {minus}} are compared with a recent theoretical calculation [C. N. Liu and A. F. Starace, Bull.more » -
Photoelectron angular distribution measurements of s and d electrons from the photodetachment of V{sup -} at visible wavelengths
Photodetached d-electron angular distributions have been measured for the processes V{sup -}(3d{sup 4}4s{sup 2}){sup 5}D+h{nu}{yields}V(3d{sup 3}4s{sup 2}){sup 4}F+e{sup -}, V{sup -}(3d{sup 4}4s{sup 2}){sup 5}D+h{nu}{yields}V(3d{sup 3}4s{sup 2}){sup 4}P+e{sup -}, and at discrete wavelengths in the region 457.9-647.1 nm using the laser photoelectron spectroscopy technique. Photoelectron yields were obtained by measuring the laboratory frame energy spectra of photodetached electrons as a function of the angle between the velocity vector of the outgoing photoelectrons and the polarization direction of the linearly polarized photon beam. A nonlinear curve-fitting routine was used to extract the value of the asymmetry parameter for a particular transition atmore » -
The effect of the dipole bound state on AgF{sup −} vibrationally resolved photodetachment cross sections and photoelectron angular distributions
The first photoelectron spectra of AgF{sup −} are recorded over the energy range 1.61–1.85 eV using the velocity map imaging technique. The resolved vibrational structure of the AgF X′, v′ ← AgF{sup −} X″, v″ = 0 band yields an AgF electron affinity of 1.46 ± 0.01 eV and vibrational frequency of 500 ± 40 cm{sup −1}. For the v′ = 2, 3, 4 channels, the photodetachment cross sections and angular distributions undergo rapid changes over a narrow electron kinetic energy range in the region of 50 meV (approximately 13 meV below the opening of the next vibrational channel).

Cross sections and photoelectron angular distributions in photodetachment from negative ions using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster Dyson orbitals
We report total and differential cross sections for photodetachment from negative ions using Dyson orbitals calculated from equation-of-motion coupled-cluster wave functions and free wave description of the detached electron. The energy dependence of the cross sections is reproduced well, however, the accuracy of absolute values varies. For F{sup -}, C{sup -}, NH{sub 2}{sup -}, and H{sup -}, the calculated cross sections are within the error bars from the experimental values, whereas the errors for Li{sup -} and OH{sup -} are about 20%. The largest errors are observed for O{sup -} and O{sub 2}{sup -} for which the calculated cross sectionsmore »
