Abstract

AbstractWe have developed a double charge transfer (DCT) spectroscope to study doubly charged molecular ions (dications). In the course of the development, DCT spectra of N2, CO, and NO has been ob served with energy resolution of about 0.5 eV. The spectral profiles observed have shown the Franck‐Condon (FC) behavior. We have made an effort to in crease the resolution up to about 140 meV, which is much better than those (1–1.5 eV) reported in previous works. In the present measurement, the vibrationally resolved DCT spectrum for N2++ could be obtained for the first time. The observed peak structures agree well with those calculated using FC factors, differing meaningfully from the spectra taken with Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and thresh old photoelectrons coincidence (TPEsCO) spectroscopy. The DCT spectroscopy might be a powerful method to study the potential curves of short‐lived dications.
