Electronic excitation of carbon dioxide in the 10.5-18 eV range studied by inelastic electron scattering spectroscopy
Abstract
The excitation of CO2 by electrons at 10.5-18 eV is investigated experimentally using electron-impact energy-loss spectroscopy. The experimental apparatus and procedures are briefly described, and the results are presented in extensive tables and sample spectra and characterized in detail. Most of the g-g forbidden transitions predicted theoretically for the region of the Rathenau progressions are detected.
