Flow-tube mass spectrometry as a technique to measure positive ion–molecule reactions is
tracked from its birth to the beginning of the 21st century. Major achievements in the …

Techniques are described for determining the rate coefficients and quantitatively identifying
the products of dissociative electron—ion recombination. Emphasis is placed on afterglow …

Optical emissions from the CO (a3 Πr) and N2 (B3Πg) electronically excited products of the
dissociative electron recombination of vibrationally relaxed HCO+ and N2H+ and their …

A flowing afterglow apparatus in conjunction with laser induced fluorescence (LIF)
diagnostics has been used to determine the yield of OH (v= 0, 1) produced by the …

Vibrational population distributions have been obtained for the electronically excited states
N2 (B 3 Pi g), nu= 2-9, and CO (a 3 Pi r), nu= 0-6, produced in the dissociative electron …

Methane/oxygen ice mixtures are irradiated in an ultra-high vacuum chamber at 10 K with
9.0 MeV alpha-particles to investigate the role of suprathermal oxygen atoms in the …

A flowing afterglow apparatus in conjunction with laser induced fluorescence (LIF)
diagnostics has been used to determine the yields of OH (X 2 Π, v= 0, 1) produced by the …

A technique has been developed to detect infrared emissions from the products of ionic
reactions in plasmas. The technique employs dual-phase digital lock-in amplification and …

This review outlines the advances that have been made in recent years in the study of
elementary gas-phase processes involving molecular ions by employing optical techniques …

Experimental studies of electron-ion recombination have traditionally been made in three
ways:(1) the determination of recombination rate coefficients, some as a function of …
