Dissociative recombination study of Na+(D2O) in a storage ring

摘要

The dissociative recombination of Na+(D2O) ion has been studied at the heavy-ion storage ring CRYRING (Manne Siegbahn Laboratory, Stockholm University). The cross section has been measured as a function of center-of-mass energy ranging from 1 meV to 0.1 eV and found to have an E-1.37 dependence. The rate coefficient has been deduced to be (2.3+/-0.32)x10(-7)(T-e/300)(-0.95+/-0.01) cm(3) s(-1) for T-e=50-1000 K. The branching ratios have been measured at 0 eV. Of the four energetically accessible dissociation channels, three channels are found to occur although the channel that breaks the weak Na+-D2O bond is by far dominant.
