Mutual electron detachment in collisions between negative ions

Absolute total electron detachment and relative ionisation cross sections for O2 − collisions with O2 in the energy range (10–1500 eV)

“…Previous atomic collision studies involving oxygen compounds include superoxide anion formation by high energy Ar + collisions with molecular oxygen [1], mutual electron detachment in anion-anion collisions [12], electron detachment of NO − in collision with O 2 [13], O 2 ionisation by He + impact [14] with a compilation of scattering data for electron and ion collisions with O 2 and other molecules reported by Kimura et al [15]. We have found fewer publications in the literature reporting O 2 − as a projectile.…”
