Abstract. The reaction of electronegative molecules with low work function surfaces may proceed nonadiabatically. As a consequence "exoemission" of negative ions or electrons can be observed. The reactions of O[sub 2] and N[sub 2]O with Cs are discussed. If the molecules interact with a metal...

A new unified parametrization scheme for the complete neglect of differential overlap method, applicable to heavy atom systems is formulated. The exponents Î¶Î¼ and electronegativities X(Î¼) of atomic orbitals are corrected by the relativistic Diracâ€“Fock expectation values of atomic...

Water clusters are known to undergo an autoprotonation reaction upon ionization by photons or electron impact, resulting in the formation of (H2O)nH3O+. Ejection of OH cannot be quenched by near-threshold ionization; it is only partly quenched when clusters are complexed with inert gas atoms....

The average local ionization energy $$\overline {\hbox{I}} \left( {\mathbf{r}} \right)$$ is the energy necessary to remove an electron from the point r in the space of a system. Its lowest values reveal the locations of the least tightly-held electrons, and thus the favored sites for reaction...
