Abstract

We describe the design and performance of an electron-impact ion beam reflectron system coupled to our “single-photon infrared emission spectrometer” for measurement of infrared emission from excited gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cations. This experiment provides for direct comparison of laboratory infrared emission spectra of gaseous ionized PAHs with the “unidentified infrared emission bands,” the origin of which is still debated.
