Multiphoton production and detection of atoms
Abstract
The production of atomic fragments from a compound using multiphoton dissociation was investigated for metal centered and hetero atom centered compounds. The atoms were detected by multiphoton ionization. Metal centered systems generated large amounts of the characteristic metal atoms, with a large kinetic energy release, indicating a direct dissociation Mechanism. P and S centered systems gave mainly diatomic fragments.
