Electron-impact dissociation of HgX2 (X=Cl,Br,I)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6907647

Electron-impact dissociation of HgX/sub 2/ molecules was studied in the electron energy range of 1-100 eV. By using the most intense band of the B-X system of HgX (X = Cl,Br.I) radicals, emission cross sections were measured at different energies of the projectile electron. The threshold electron energy for the observation of the B-X band system was determined to be 7.0, 6.5, and 5.7 eV for HgCl/sub 2/,HgBr/sub 2/, and HgI/sub 2/ molecules, respectively. These energies are in good agreement with values previously reported by other investigators.
