Study of Electron-Molecule and Ion-Molecule Reactions Using Rydberg Atoms

在实验物理化学的这个项目中，dunning教授（William Marsh Rice University）将使用分子束技术来引导松散附着在母体原子上的电子进入化学活性环境。这使得对电子催化电离反应的控制达到了前所未有的程度。达宁教授（威廉·马什·赖斯大学）将制备比一般可用的大数百倍的巨型伪原子。这些原子提供了一种强大的新电子源，邓宁将利用它来了解涉及电子附着和分离的反应的基本基础，这些反应是各种气相化学过程的基础。

In this program in Experimental Physical Chemistry, Prof.Dunning (William Marsh Rice University) will use molecular beam techniques to steer electrons loosely attached to parent atoms into a chemically active environment. This permits an unprecedented degree of control over electron catalyzed ionization reactions. %%% Giant pseudo-atoms, up to hundreds of times bigger than those commonly available, will be prepared by Prof. Dunning (William Marsh Rice University). These atoms provide a powerful new source of electrons which Dunning will use to understand the fundamental basis of reactions which involve electron attachment and de-attachment -- processes which underlie an enormous variety of gas-phase chemical processes.
