Abstract

The complete dissociation dynamics of low energy electron attachment to the ammonia molecule has been studied using velocity slice imaging (VSI) spectrometry. One low energy resonant peak around 5.5 eV and a broad resonance around 10.5 eV incident electron energies have been observed. The resonant states mainly dissociate via H− and NH2− fragments, though for the upper resonant state, the signature of NH− fragments is also predicted due to a three-body dissociation process. Kinetic energy and angular distributions of the NH2− fragment anions are measured simultaneously around the two resonances. Based on our experimental observations, we conclude that a temporary negative ion (TNI) state with A1 symmetry is responsible for the lower resonance. Whereas, we find strong evidence for the existence of a TNI state having A1 symmetry at the 10.5 eV resonance for the first time.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
