Title: Electron-Impact Dissociation of Vibrationally-Excited Molecular Hydrogen into Neutral Fragments

Abstract

We present convergent close-coupling (CCC) calculations of electron-impact dissociation of vibrationally-excited molecular hydrogen into neutral fragments. This work follows from our previous results for dissociation of molecular hydrogen in the ground vibrational level [Scarlett et al., Eur. Phys. J. D 72, 34 (2018)], which were obtained from calculations performed in a spherical coordinate system. The present calculations, performed utilizing a spheroidal formulation of the molecular CCC method, reproduce the previous dissociation cross sections for the ground vibrational level, while allowing the extension to scattering on excited levels.

We apply the adiabatic-nuclei molecular convergent close-coupling (MCCC) method to calculate cross sections from threshold to 500 eV for excitation of all bound vibrational levels and dissociative excitation of the B ¹more »« less

Dissociative recombination of H{sub 2}{sup +}: Product state information and very large cross sections of vibrationally excited H{sub 2}{sup +}

Journal Article van der Zande, W J ; Semaniak, J ; Zengin, V ; ... - Physical Review A

We report experiments on dissociative recombination (DR) of HD{sup +} and H{sub 2}{sup +}. Product state information has been obtained over a wide range of electron energies with a position sensitive detector consisting of a graded absorber in combination with a surface-barrier detector. At low electron energies ({lt}3 eV) hydrogen atoms are formed preferentially in highly excited states ({ital n}{gt}2); at high electron energies ({gt}12 eV) both hydrogen fragments are excited. The dissociative recombination rate of H{sub 2}{sup +} has been measured also as a function of storage time in the energy range of 0 eV to 20 eV. Wemore »« less

Journal Article Krstic, P S ; Janev, R K ; Forschungszentrum Juelich, Institute for Plasma Physics, D-52425 Juelich - Physical Review. A

We present a detailed quantum-mechanical study for dissociation of vibrationally excited molecular diatomic target, of H{sub 2}({nu}{sub i}) by proton impact and H{sub 2}{sup +}({nu}{sub i}) by hydrogen-atom impact, in the range of center-of-mass collision energies from threshold to 9.5 eV. The dominant dissociation mechanisms in this three-atomic collision system are identified and their effectiveness analyzed for different collision geometries. The cross section calculations for direct and charge-transfer dissociation are performed by solving the Schroedinger equation for the nuclear and electronic motions on the two lowest diabatic electronic surfaces of H{sub 3}{sup +}, and by using an expansion of nuclearmore »« less
