Development of 3-D Momentum Imaging Spectroscopy for a Molecule


We have been developing multiple coincidence momentum imaging spectroscopy, which consists of electron and ion time-of-flight analyzers with multi-hit two-dimensional position sensitive detectors, a supersonic jet, and a fast TDC system. Figure shows an example of C 1s photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) of CO2 in a molecular frame measured at a photon energy of 320 eV. CO2 molecules are oriented parallel or perpendicular to the polarization vector of the incident photon beam. The photoelectrons are ejected from the molecule after scattering by the intra-molecular field and thus the PADs reflect the molecular field, geometry, etc.
