Study of He/Ne+Ar, Kr, N2, H2, D2 Chemi-Ionization Reactions by Electron Velocity-Map Imaging

Andreas Osterwalder, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Junwen Zou, Silvia Tanteri

The chemi-ionization of Ar, Kr, N2, H2, and D2 by Ne(3P2) and of Ar, Kr, and N2 by He(3S1) was studied by electron velocity map imaging (e-VMI) in a crossed molecular beam experiment. A curved magnetic hexapole was used to state-select the metastable speci ...

Studies of cold chemistry in crossed and merged neutral beams

Silvia Tanteri

In this thesis we present the design of two setups to study low-energy collisions between neutral species: an electron velocity map imaging for chemi-ionisation reactions and a merged electrostatic guide for polar molecules scattering. In the past few yea ...

Crossed Molecular Beams and Theoretical Studies of the O(P-3)+1,2-Butadiene Reaction: Dominant Formation of Propene plus CO and Ethylidene plus Ketene Molecular Channels

Silvia Tanteri, Adriana Caracciolo

Detailed understanding of the mechanism of the combustion relevant multichannel reactions of O(P-3) with unsaturated hydrocarbons (UHs) requires the identification of all primary reaction products, the determination of their branching ratios and assessment ...

Quantum-state-controlled channel branching in cold Ne(3P2)+Ar chemi-ionization

Andreas Osterwalder, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Junwen Zou, Silvia Tanteri

A prerequisite to gain a complete understanding of the most basic aspects of chemical reactions is the ability to perform experiments with complete control over the reactant degrees of freedom. By controlling these, details of a reaction mechanism can be i ...

Stereodynamics of Ne(3P2) reacting with Ar, Kr, Xe, and N2

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Silvia Tanteri

Stereodynamics experiments of Ne(3P2) reacting with Ar, Kr, Xe, and N2 leading to Penning and associative ionization have been performed in a crossed molecular beam apparatus. A curved magnetic hexapole was used to state-select and polarize Ne(3P2) atoms w ...

Energy dependent stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+Ar reaction

Andreas Osterwalder, Justinas Jankunas, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Junwen Zou, Silvia Tanteri

The stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+Ar Penning and Associative ionization reactions have been studied using a crossed molecular beam apparatus. The experiment uses a curved magnetic hexapole to polarise the Ne(3P2) which is then oriented with a shaped magnet ...
