Abstract

Atomic oxygen has been studied using angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and constant-ionic-state (CIS) measurements using radiation from the Elettra synchrotron as the photon source. Relative partial photoionization cross-sections and angular distributions for the O+(S-4) ? O(P-3) and O+(D-2) ? O(P-3) ionizations have been measured as a function of photon energy from threshold (13.6 eV) to 19.0 eV. Comparison of the results obtained with recent experimental work performed at lower resolution reveals a number of differences and comparison with results of recent calculations shows the need for the inclusion of coupling intermediate between the j-j and L-S limits in future calculations of photoionization cross-sections and angular distributions. This work has demonstrated the feasibility of and results to be expected from angle resolved PES and CIS measurements on reactive intermediates at Elettra, a third-generation synchrotron source, and further studies on small molecular radicals are proposed.
