Ov. Boltalina et al., Electron capture by fluorinated fullerene anions in collisions with Xe atoms - art. no. 023202, PHYS REV A, 6202(2), 2000, pp. 3202
Electron capture by 50-keV fluorinated fullerene anions (C60Fn- 18<n<48) pr
oduced in either a plasma or an electrospray ion source hits been studied i
n collisions with Xe atoms, The relative importance of nondissociative vs d
issociative electron capture was found to depend strongly on the ion produc
tion method and on the number of attached F atoms. The absolute size of the
cross section similar to 10(-16) cm(2) has been modeled within the over-th
e-barrier model.
