Photoelectron angular distributions from rotationally resolved autoionizing states of N2
Abstract
The single-photon, photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectrum of N2 has been recorded at high (~1.5 cm-1) resolution in the region between the N2+ X 2Σg+, v+ = 0 and 1 ionization thresholds by using a double imaging spectrometer and intense vacuum-ultraviolet light from the Synchrotron SOLEIL. This approach provides the relative photoionization cross section, the photoelectron energy distribution, and the photoelectron angular distribution as a function of photon energy. The region of interest contains autoionizing valence states, vibrationally autoionizing Rydberg states converging to vibrationally excited levels of the N2+ X 2Σg+ ground state, and electronically autoionizing states converging to the N2+ A 2Π and B 2Σu+ states. The wavelength resolution is sufficient to resolve rotational structure in the autoionizing states, but the electron energy resolution is insufficient to resolve rotational structure in the photoion spectrum. Here, a simplified approach based on multichannel quantum defect theory is used to predict the photoelectron angular distribution parameters, β, and the results are in reasonably good agreement with experiment.
