Theory of electron detachment in collisions of negative ions with atoms II. Survival probability, differential elastic cross section, and total detachment cross section for the H - –He system

The close-coupling theory of electron detachment, developed in the preceding paper I, is used to calculate the probability of survival of the negative ion, and the total probability of electron detachment. Neglect of a term reduces the formulas to more familiar ones, which are then used to calculate differential elastic cross sections and total detachment cross sections for the H - –He and D - –He systems. Good agreement with experi­mental results is obtained.

The single-electron detachment (SED) cross sections for Co− and Ir− in collision with Ar in the energy region of 10–30 keV are obtained in our laboratory. As our previous paper reported, the SED cross sections have velocity and electron affinity dependency. Using the least-squares method, we analyze the available experimental data of SED cross sections for different negative ions in collision with Ar, and get empirical formulas for different sets of anionic projectiles. For most anionic projectiles, there is a clear correlation between increasing electron affinity and decreasing SED cross sections. Co and Ir, however, are an exception, and we discuss how other physical parameters can be taken into account in the search for general scaling rules for SED cross sections. As the incident velocity increases, the cross section dependence of the anion's electron affinity becomes weaker, and the relation between the SED cross sections and νp is supposed to be [Formula: see text].

We first explore negative-ion formation in fullerenes C44, C60, C70, C98, C112, C120, C132 and C136 through low-energy electron elastic scattering total cross sections calculations using our Regge-pole methodology. Water oxidation to peroxide and water synthesis from H2 and O2 are then investigated using the anionic catalysts C44ˉ to C136ˉ. The fundamental mechanism underlying negative-ion catalysis involves hydrogen bond strength-weakening in the transition state. DFT transition state calculations found C60ˉ numerically stable for both water and peroxide synthesis, C100ˉ increases the energy barrier the most and C136ˉ the most effective catalyst in both water synthesis and oxidation to H2O2.

Abstract A wall stabilized low-current cylindric arc was used to produce the radiation of the negative Bromine-ions. The radiation consists of an affinity-continuum with a long-wave threshold of 3682 Å, yielding an electron affinity for Bromine of 3.366 eV, and of an intense electron-atom Bremsstrahlung in the visible. Intensity measurements of the continua allow the determination of the photo-detachment-and attachment-cross-sections of Bromine and also the determination of the mean elastic cross-section of electrons against Bromine atoms.


A crossed beams method has been used to measure the cross section for the production of He + (2 S ) by electrons incident upon He + (1 S ) in the energy range from threshold to 750 eV. The cross section was measured in arbitrary units with an accuracy of ± 5 % and at the higher energies its energy dependence is in close agreement with that calculated by means of the plane-wave Born approximation. Consequently the cross section has been normalized to the plane-wave Born cross section at energies between 435 and 750 eV to obtain the absolute magnitude. An independent estimate of the absolute magnitude was made to with in ± 30 % using only the experimental parameters, and the absolute cross sections given by the two methods agree within the experimental uncertainties. The normalized cross section is compared with cross sections given by the close-coupling approximation and various Coulomb-Born approximations. At the lower energies the normalized cross section is considerably smaller than any of the theoretical values, but the measurements are consistent with the existence of a finite cross section at threshold if the energy spread of the electron beam is taken in to account.

Transient negative ions (resonances) formed during the collision of an electron with an atom or molecule have been extensively studied for over thirty years. The continued interest in these states, both experimentally and theoretically, stems from the profound effects that they can have on electron scattering cross sections and the role that electron–electron correlations play in their formation and quasi-stability. A selective discussion of examples of such resonances, involving one, two and three excited electrons is given for a wide range of atomic and molecular systems.

The cross section σ−+ for double electron detachment from Cl− in a single collision with a rare gas atom has been measured between 12.5 and 122.5 keV. The magnitude of these cross sections shows that there is a good probability that a second electron will be emitted in collisions that detach one electron, particularly with light targets. The centre-of-mass cross section decreases with increasing target mass, but the variation is less than that for F− and O− double electron detachment cross sections.
