The broad-band (165–650 nm) photon yield of xenon by monoenergetic electron excitation has been measured in the range from 10.9 eV to above 13.436 eV (2P1/2 limit). Neutral excited states and several new negative-ion states are detected. Interpretation and classification are discussed.

The metastable yield of argon excited by monoenergetic electron impact has been measured between 23 and 37 eV. Thanks to a large signal-to-noise ratio, many very small structures have been detected superimposed on the metastable continuum and are attributed to Ar− negative-ion states and to highly excited states of Ar. The results are compared with broadband photon yield curves and electroionization curves.

Ionization Processes

The ionization and dissociation of chlorine, bromine, iodine, iodine monochloride, and iodine monobromide by electron impact have been studied in a mass spectrometer which uses a monoenergetic electron source. Many ionization potentials have been observed for these molecules which, of course, refer to the formation of the parent molecular ions in different excited states. These experimental results are discussed in terms of simple molecular orbital theories of the electronic structures of the different halogen molecules.Electron-induced dissociative ionization processes for the different substances have also been studied. Where possible, appearance potentials of both the positive and negative ions have been determined. These results have been used to construct potential energy diagrams illustrating the origin of some of the negative ion and dissociation processes observed.

Monoenergetic Electron

The broadband photon yield in the spectral range 165–650 nm of Kr excited by monoenergetic electrons with energies from 12 to 15 eV has been measured. Several negative-ion states are observed both below and above the 2P3/2 ionization threshold. No structures are detected above the 2P1/2 limit, even with a total accumulation of 200 million counts per observation point.

The broadband photon yield of Kr excited by monoenergetic electron impact above the ionization threshold has been measured by means of an improved apparatus. Results are given for the energy region 22–26 eV. The observed structures are interpreted as being due to highly excited neutral states and to highly excited negative-ion states.

Photon Yield

The measurement of the broadband photon yield of N2 molecules excited by electron impact, as a function of the incident electron energy, shows many structures below the ionization threshold. Most of them are due to the formation of negative ion resonances N2−.
