Dissociative attachment to lithium dimers

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6015635
The cross sections and the rates of production of negative ions of atomic lithium by the process of dissociative electron attachment to lithium dimers are obtained by using the resonant scattering theory. Both the cross sections as well as the rates of attachment are enhanced if the lithium molecule is initially vibrationally excited. General expressions for approximately obtaining the rates of electron attachment to any vibrational level of Li/sub 2/ are presented.
