X-ray spectroscopy of Cl-Ar quasi-molecular orbitals from 1sσ-2pπ transitions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The quasimolecular 1sσ-2pπ transition energy as function of the internuclear distance is obtained for the first time in a direct way from the interference structure observed in quasimolecularK x-ray spectra from low energy (2.5, 5, 10 and 20 MeV) Cl16+ on Ar collisions at fixed impact parameter. The experimental results are in fair agreement with quasimolecular transition energies calculated with a two-center potential.
