Abstract

The H2 molecule has recently been studied by a number of groups using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization by multicolor narrow-band tunable radiation.1–4 In these studies, the total H2+ current as well as the energy spectrum of the ejected electrons are monitored as a function of the wavelength of the radiation. Such powerful complementary techniques can be used to study the structure of the resonant intermediate state, to determine the branching ratios into various electronic, vibrational, and rotational of the product molecular ion (and achieve selectivity), and to directly investigate the dynamics of the complete multiphoton ionzation process.
