Description

We report the first measurements on the electron energy dependence of the total cross section for stable anion formation within a solid lattice. Resonant attachment of electrons to CF3Cl isolated within a multilayer Kr film produces CF3Cl - and Cl- with a maximum cross section of 1.1x10-16 cm2 at ∼0.7 eV , which is greater than that for the same process at the Kr surface and in the gas by a factor of 25 and 64, respectively. These enhancements are primarily due to the effects of induced polarization on the transient CF3Cl - ion. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
