Abstract
Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) processes have been observed and characterized for submonolayer and multilayer quantities of CCl4, CDCl3, CD2Cl2, CH3Cl, and CH3Br adsorbed on metallic substrates and submonolayer quantities adsorbed onto Kr spacer layers. Anion yields (Br−, Cl−, H−, D−) are reported for incident electron energies from 0 to 12 eV; no desorbing polyatomic anion fragments were detected. The results are compared to the gas-phase DEA analogs and demonstrate the perturbations on the DEA process that are introduced by the presence of the highly polarizable environment (molecular solid+metal substrate). We also report the first observation of H−(D−) produced by DEA of halomethanes containing hydrogen (deuterium).
