Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Ion imaging is a still rather new technique that allows a particularly direct visualisation of the dynamics of chemical reactions - both bimolecular collisions and unimolecular fragmentation processes. This proposal seeks funds to upgrade an existing photofragment ion imaging spectrometer to allow high resolution study of the velocity and angular distributions of, mainly, atomic fragments resulting from a variety of molecular photofragmentations. Topics meriting particular attention will be (i) the wavelength dependent fragmentation dynamics of triatomic systems like N2O, OCS, CS2, SO2 and, as our expertise develops, CICN, BrCN and CO2-molecules which require vacuum ultraviolet photolysis wavelengths, and (ii) studies of the origins and mechanisms of recently observed correlations between the recoil velocity vector (v) and the angular momentum vector (J) of atoms resulting from photolysis of model two and three atom molecules.
