Mnr. Ashfold et al., RESONANCE-ENHANCED MULTIPHOTON IONIZATION (REMPI) AND REMPI-PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY OF AMMONIA, The European Physical Journal. D: Atomic, molecular and optical physics, 4(2), 1998, pp. 189-197
Resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy, prefer
ably linked with kinetic energy analysis of the resulting photoelectro
ns (REMPI-photoelectron spectroscopy (PES)), continues to make enormou
s contributions to our understanding of the spectroscopy and, in many
cases, the decay dynamics of small molecules in excited (normally Rydb
erg) electronic states. Here we present results of recent REMPI and RE
MPI-PES studies involving the ammonia molecule which provide further i
llustration of some of the many opportunities offered by these techniq
ues.
