Jd. Rudmin et al., STRUCTURE OF THE PHOTODETACHMENT CROSS-SECTION IN A MAGNETIC-FIELD - AN EXPERIMENT WITH OH-, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 29(24), 1996, pp. 881-888
Photodetachment from OH- in a magnetic field has been studied experime
ntally using light with energies between 14 400 and 14 900 cm(-1). Pre
sented here are high-resolution data which exhibit sharp magnetic fiel
d structure at thresholds and low-resolution data which show monotonic
ally increasing cross sections. The current work is the first in any a
tomic or molecular system where sufficient energy resolution has been
achieved to observe the shape of the cross section in a magnetic field
.
