An experimental and theoretical characterization of the electronic structure of doubly ionised disulfur

An experimental and theoretical characterization of the electronic structure of doubly ionised disulfur
An experimental and theoretical characterization of the electronic structure of doubly ionised disulfur

Using time-of-flight multiple electron and ion coincidence techniques in combination with a helium gas discharge lamp and synchrotron radiation, the double ionisation spectrum of disulfur (S[Formula: see text]) and the subsequent fragmentation dynamics of its dication are investigated. The S[Formula: see text] sample was produced by heating mercury sulfide (HgS), whose vapour at a suitably chosen temperature consists primarily of two constituents: S[Formula: see text] and atomic Hg. A multi-particle-coincidence technique is thus particularly useful for retrieving spectra of S[Formula: see text] from ionisation of the mixed vapour. The results obtained are compared with detailed calculations of the electronic structure and potential energy curves of S[Formula: see text] which are also presented. These computations are carried out using configuration interaction methodology. The experimental results are interpreted with and strongly supported by the computational results.

Abstract

Using time-of-flight multiple electron and ion coincidence techniques in combination with a helium gas discharge lamp and synchrotron radiation, the double ionisation spectrum of disulfur (S[Formula: see text]) and the subsequent fragmentation dynamics of its dication are investigated. The S[Formula: see text] sample was produced by heating mercury sulfide (HgS), whose vapour at a suitably chosen temperature consists primarily of two constituents: S[Formula: see text] and atomic Hg. A multi-particle-coincidence technique is thus particularly useful for retrieving spectra of S[Formula: see text] from ionisation of the mixed vapour. The results obtained are compared with detailed calculations of the electronic structure and potential energy curves of S[Formula: see text] which are also presented. These computations are carried out using configuration interaction methodology. The experimental results are interpreted with and strongly supported by the computational results.
