"Dynamics of heavy-Rydberg ion-pair formation in K(14p,20p)-SF6, CCl4ﾠcollisions." <i>The Journal of Chemical Physics,</i> 140, no. 23 (2014) AIP Publishing: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4882659.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/94382The dynamics of formation of heavy-Rydberg ion-pair states throughﾠelectron transferﾠin K(np)-SF6, CCl4ﾠcollisions is examined byﾠmeasuringﾠtheﾠvelocity,ﾠangular, and bindingﾠenergyﾠdistributions of the product ion pairs. The results areﾠanalyzedﾠwith the aid of a Monte Carlo collision code that models both the initial electron capture and the subsequent evolution of the ion pairs. The model simulations are in good agreement with the experimental data and highlight the factors such asﾠRydberg atomﾠsize, the kineticﾠenergyﾠof relativeﾠmotionﾠof theﾠRydberg atomﾠand target particle, and (in the case of attaching targets that dissociate) the energetics ofﾠdissociationﾠthat can be used to control the properties of the product ion-pair states.engArticle is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
