description | A rotationally resolved zero-kinetic-energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectrum has been recorded for the lowest energy valence band of H2. A coherent laser-based extreme ultraviolet (XUV) source, tuned from 128 200-128 900 cm-1 excites the molecules to the ionization limit, and near-threshold electrons, in a narrow energy bandwidth (a few cm-1) just below the ionization limit, are detected by field ionization as a function of laser wavelength. The rotational components for the H2+ X 2Σg+ (2-0) vibrational band show different relative intensities, compared to the conventional photoelectron spectrum and to the predictions of theoretical calculations. The perturbed intensities of the N+ = 0 ← J″ = 0 and the 0 ← 2 rotational lines are shown to be attributable to an interaction of the pseudocontinuum of near-threshold N+ = 0 np J′ = 1 Rydberg states, with the interloper N+ = 2, 26p J′ = 1 state. The enhanced intensity of the 2 ← 0 rotational line is attributable to a "complex resonance" involving the v′ = 3 R(0) 8p0 transition. © 1992 American Institute of Physics. |
