Abstract:Electron-impact dissociative cross sections for H2 and D2 vibrationally excited molecules have been calculated in the frame of the impact-parameter method for dissociative processes involving direct dissociation M2(X'Xg, U;)+e~M2(B 'X"+, C'H")+e~2M+e and radiative cascade M2(X'Xg, v;) +e~Mz (B 'X"+, C'll")+e -+M2(X 'Xg+)+e+hv~2M+e+hv (M2 represents a hydrogen or deuterium molecule). The results show that direct dissociation cross sections strongly depend on the initial vibrational state of the molecule, while … Show more

“…In the present paper the following singlet-singlet (optically allowed) transitions have been included: g , except the last one which involves two excited electronic states. The related dissociative and total cross sections (the bound-to-bound non-dissociative cross sections can be obtained from (2.1) by subtraction) have been calculated as a function of both the incident energy and the initial vibrational quantum number v i , by using the quantum-mechanical impact parameter method [5,7,8,13,19,20].…”

“…In the experiment of [22], the temperature was much lower, and the fraction of Se 2 molecules in the beam was very small. It is known [25,26] that the cross sections of electron-molecule collisions including dissociative excitation depend significantly on the vibrational level of ground electron state on which the molecule finds itself prior to collision with electron. Celiberto et al [26] demonstrated that the dissociative excitation cross sections in collisions of electrons with H 2 and D 2 molecules for excitation from the initial levels with vibrational quantum numbers v′ = 0 and v′ = 3, 4 differ by almost an order of magnitude.…”

The dissociative excitation of selenium atom by electron impact is investigated for the first time under conditions of narrow composition of molecular beam. The thermal destruction of heavy Se n molecules is used to obtain a beam with prevailing Se 2 molecule. Seventeen cross sections of dissociative excitation of SeI are measured at electron energy of 50 eV. Possible reactions of formation of excited selenium atoms in e-Se 2 collisions are discussed.
