Neutral excited N^＊ and O^＊ atoms are detected by fluorescence spectroscopy for the NO molecule upon interaction with 800 nm intense laser radiation of duration 60 fs and intensity 0.2 PW/cm^2. Intense laser pulse causes neutral dissociation of superexcited NO molecule by way of multiphoton excitation, which is equivalent to single photon excitation in the extreme-ultraviolet region by synchrotron radiation. Potential energy curves （PECs） are also built using the calculated superexcited state of NO^＋. In light of the PECs, direct dissociation and pre-dissociation mechanisms are proposed respectively for the neutral dissociation leading to excited fragments N^＊ and O^＊.展开更多

The transitions at 13.8 eV and 14.0 eV are reassigned as 3pπ（000） and 3pσ（000） converging to A^2∑＋, respectively. The competition between the main decay pathways of superexcited states at different momentum transfers is revealed. It is found that 3dσ converging to C^2∑＋ mainly decays into N2O^＋ while 4dσ can decay into both N2^O＋ and NO^＋.展开更多

Some peaks above the first ionization threshold stand out as the momentum transfer square K2 increases. The doubly excited Rydberg states converging to C 2∑^＋, D ^2∏, and F ^2∏ states of CO^＋, respectively, are confirmed in our spectra. Another peak at around 32eV is assigned to the transition of （3σ）^-1（2π）^1^1∏←X^1∑^＋.展开更多

In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.展开更多
