Abstract

Collision-induced dissociation of highly excited NO 2 (i.e., mixed 2B 2/ 2A 1 molecular eigenstates just below D 0) impinging on MgO(100) surfaces has been studied as a function of NO 2 internal excitation at an incident translational energy of 4400 cm −1 by using state-selective NO detection. NO internal energy distributions as well as the average energy transferred per activating collision have been obtained. The results, in particular the NO [ 2Π 1/2]/[ 2Π 3/2] population ratios, indicate the presence of exit-channel interactions with the surface that are dependent on collision energy.
