Non Franck-Condon effects in the molecular electronic excitation of O2 and CO

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., Chicago, IL (United States)

Description

Franck-Condon envelopes in electron energy loss spectra recorded for the X1Σ+ → B1Σ+ and X+Σg-→B'3Σu- transitions in CO and O2 show a pronounced variation with scattering angle. This behavior is in sharp contrast with the results standard formulations confirmed by all previous studies of electron impact and optically induced molecular excitation. Underlying mechanisms revealed by a theoretical investigation employing multi reference configuration interaction suggest that such phenomena may be much more general than previously assumed
