Abstract

State and isotope selective two-step photoionization of NO with mass spectroscopic ion detection has been demonstrated and investigated. Using saturation condition the photoionization cross section for a single rotational level of the intermediate state, No(A 2Σ+, ν′=0), has been measured: σi=(7.0±0.9) X 10−19 cm2. The charge transfer15NO++14NO→15NO+14NO+ has been observed and investigated, yielding a cross section of the order of 13×10−16 cm2, consistent with recent measurements at about 1 eV.
