AbstractWe present experimental results which suggest a new mechanism for the production of excited atoms and ions by electron bombardment of alkali-halides. Doppler shift measurements show that the electronically excited atoms have a thermal velocity distribution in equilibrium with the surface temperature. Measurements of the absolute yield of excited atoms, the distribution of population among the excited states, and the dependence of yield on incident electron current support a model in which excited atoms are produced by gas-phase collisions between desorbed ground-state atoms and secondary electrons. Similarly, gas-phase ionization of ground-state neutrals by secondary electrons accounts for a substantial portion of the positive ions produced by electron bombardment of alkali-halides.

A kinetic study of electronically excited oxygen atoms, O(21D2), is presented. These optically metastable species were generated by repetitive pulsed irradiation in the Hartley-band continuum and monitored photoelectrically in absorption by time-resolved attenuation of resonance radiation at λ = 115.2 nm (O(31D20)←O(21D2). Absolute rate constants for the collisional quenching of O(21D2) are reported for the gases NH3, H2O2, C2H6 C3H8, and C(CH3)4. These are found to be respectively (in units of 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 S−1 at 300 K), 6.3 ± 0.7, 5.2 ± 0.6, 7.3 ± 0.8, 9.5 ± 1.0, and 12.3 ± 1.3. With the exception of a recent measurement for NH3• these data represent the first absolute measurements for these quenching gases. Further, a general comparison is made between absolute rate measurements using this technique and recent work by Schiff and co-workers using time-resolved emission at λ = 630 nm (O(21D2) → O(23P2)) in order to monitor the excited atoms.
