ABSTRACTAn unique method is used to produce a low energy nonthermalized fast neutral radical beam wliich can activate the SiO2 surface for chemical reaction at the desired incident energy. The fast neutral beam energy is continuously adjustable (2eV<Ek<200eV) and the beam flux is typically 5×1015cm−2 sec−1(∼4L). An uniform large diameter plasma is also made for the production of neutral beam covering 5”wafer and larger. Large diameter neutral beam single wafer reactor is feasible with off-the-shelf pumping technology.


Vibrational energy transfer and a chemical reaction between nitric oxide and the cyanogen radical have been studied by flash photolysing cyanogen and cyanogen bromide in the presence of nitric oxide. The product of the chemical reaction is, at least in part, the unstable compound nitrosyl cyanide NOCN and the rate constant is 2 x 10 12 ml. mole -1 s -1 or 1 x 10 17 ml. mole -2 s -1 with nitrogen as third body. The compound has a continuous absorption in the ultra-violet and yields vibrationally excited nitric oxide on photolysis. Vibrationally excited cyanogen radicals produced by means of electronic excitation of the radical produce vibrational excitation of the nitric oxide through near resonance energy exchange. Vibrational equilibrium is reached by nitric oxide through further resonance exchanges: CN + NO → NOCN, NOCN + hv → N O ( v > 0) + CN, NO ( v = 0) + CN ( v = n ) → NO ( v = 1) + CN ( v = n – 1 ) , NO ( v = 1) + CN ( v = m ) → NO ( v = 2) + CN ( v = m –1 ), 2NO { v = 1) ⇌ NO ( v = 2) + NO ( v = 0), NO ( v = 2) +NO ( v = 1) ⇌ NO ( v = 3) + NO { v = 0), etc.

There is currently great interest in the very large values of the positron annihilation rate that have been observed in low-energy positron scattering by some molecules. The annihilation rate is proportional to , the effective number of electrons in the target available to the positron for annihilation. These very high rates and associated values of have been observed experimentally to occur at energies just below the energies of excited vibrational states of the molecule concerned. This has been explained by Gribakin [Phys. Rev. A Vol. 61 (2000), p. 022720] and Gribakin and Lee [Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. 97 (2006), p. 193201] as being due to Feshbach resonances involving excited quasi-bound vibrational states. Their explanation is partly phenomenological. In this paper, I describe the results of an ab initio treatment of this resonant behaviour in the case of the scattering of a heavy ‘positron’ by , using the Kohn variational method.
