Dissociative and double photoionization of CO from threshold to 90 Aring;

摘要

Partial cross sections for molecular photoionization (CO+), dissociative photoionization (C+and O+), and dissociative double photoionization (C2+) in CO have been measured from their thresholds to 90 Aring; using techniques of mass spectrometry. The results are compared with data reported previously. Several peaks observed in the cross section curves for dissociated fragments are tentatively assigned by comparing with those in the photoelectron spectra reported for CO. It is concluded that the shoulder in the total absorption cross section curve between 400 and 90 Aring; results solely from the dissociative ionization processes.
