Abstract

Pulsed field ionization (PFI) has been used in conjunction with coherent VUV radiation to investigate the rotational state distributions of molecular cations following single photon ionization. For photoionization of the H2X(X = O,S) molecules, transitions between asymmetric top levels involving the rotational angular momentum projections, Ka and Kc, permit resolution of the photoelectron continua according to symmetry. The observed spectra also clearly demonstrate the importance of the non-spherical nature of the molecular ion potential which leads to photoelectron final states which are unexpected from atomic-like analogies.
