Photoionization Dynamics of Diatomic Molecules

  • Chapter
Molecules in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

Part of the book series: Topics in Molecular Organization and Engineering ((MOOE,volume 2))

Abstract

What is photoionization? When the photoexcitation energy, hv, increases, successive discrete Rydberg states are formed. They can be described by an ion core plus an outer electron which moves in larger and larger orbitais when the n quantum number of the Rydberg state increases. Figure 1 shows schematically these orbitais for successive Rydberg 1Π u states of N2 converging to the N +2 ground state and described by the configuration

$$ ({X^2}\Sigma_g^{ + }N_2^{ + })np{\pi_u} $$
