Total Collision Cross Sections for the Interaction of Atomic Beams of Alkali Metals with Gases

Abstract: Total collision cross sections (Q) for the interaction of atomic beams of K and Cs with a number of molecules were measured wi~h an apparatus of 30" angular resolution. Although absolute determinations of Q are difficult, relative values are readily obtained (±3%). Results are reported as the ratio (Q*) of the cross section for a given molecule to that of argon for the same beam atom. Seventy-seven molecules (of varied complexity and reactivity) were studied with K and 16 with Cs beams. Q* ranged from 0.29 to … Show more
