α-Dicarbonyl compounds form stable parent negative ions by capture of low-energy electrons. The parent negative ions undergo a variety of collision induced dissociations, the most characteristic being β cleavage to a carbonyl group, i.e. see diagram in paperCyclic α-dicarbonyl parent negative ions may also eliminate molecules of carbon monoxide, for example the fragmentations M- → [M-(R + CO)]- M- →[M - (R-2CO)]- and M- → [M-2CO]- occur in a number of cases.

The desorption of ethene from physisorbed 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE) and 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (BCE) on Cu(111) has been observed on irradiating the surface with electrons. The techniques used were low energy electron diffraction (LEED), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and mass spectrometric detection of the desorbed species. At 110 K physisorbed DCE and BCE underwent electron capture from low energy (<1 eV ) electrons in the secondary electron yield of the surface followed by decomposition and desorption of ethene alone. The decomposition was found to be first order in the surface coverage of the physisorbed DCE/BCE. No other molecular species desorbed from the surface, a stoichiometric amount of chemisorbed halogen was deposited and no carbon was detectable at the end of the desorption. The formation of the negative ions of these molecules by electron capture of low energy electrons in the secondary electron emission from the surface and the possible dynamics by which the negative ions undergo decomposition leaving the ethene product with sufficient energy to desorb, are discussed.

The negative ions C-, CN- and C2N- formed by the dissociative resonance attachment of low-energy electrons to dicyanogen in the gas phase have been studied over the electron impact energy range from 0 to 15 eV. The formation of the CN- ion was studied by using a 'monochromatic' electron gun and the translational energy of the ion measured as a function of the electron energy across the dissociative resonance capture curve. An energy balance analysis for CN- ion formation has been used to propose the electron capture processes and to construct a potential energy diagram (for C-C internuclear separation) for CN- ion formation. The molecular ion, C2N2-, has been shown to result from the associative resonance attachment of thermalized electrons scattered from the collision chamber surfaces and to exhibit an autodetachment lifetime in the microsecond timerange.

A new field emission scanning transmission electron microscope has been constructed for the NSF HREM facility at Arizona State University. The microscope is to be used for studies of surfaces, and incorporates several surface-related features, including provision for analysis of secondary and Auger electrons; these electrons are collected through the objective lens from either side of the sample, using the parallelizing action of the magnetic field. This collimates all the low energy electrons, which spiral in the high magnetic field. Given an initial field Bi∼1T, and a final (parallelizing) field Bf∼0.01T, all electrons emerge into a cone of semi-angle θf≤6°. The main practical problem in the way of using this well collimated beam of low energy (0-2keV) electrons is that it is travelling along the path of the (100keV) probing electron beam. To collect and analyze them, they must be deflected off the beam path with minimal effect on the probe position.
