AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on high-resolution photodetachment spectroscopy of the anionic tellurium dimer (Te2-), which was cooled to cryogenic temperatures for precise measurements.
- The research provided an accurate electron affinity for Te2, identified resonant states just below and above the photodetachment threshold, and showed unique behaviors in the spectroscopic results.
- Additionally, the team determined important molecular properties like bond distances and constants for both the ground state and excited states of Te2-.
Article Abstract
We report on the high-resolution photodetachment spectroscopy of the cryogenically cooled anionic tellurium dimer (Te2-). The high-resolution resonant photoelectron spectrum yields an accurate electron affinity of 16 689.7(92) cm-1 or 2.0693(11) eV for Te2. Two resonant states of Te2- anions have been identified, positioned at 1092(17) cm-1 below and 250(11) cm-1 above the photodetachment threshold, respectively. The spectra of resonant two-photon detachment (R2PD) and autodetachment from a specific vibrational level through a Feshbach resonance exhibit notable non-Franck-Condon behaviors. Using the spectroscopic data from the current experiment, the equilibrium bond distances and spectroscopic constants of the ground state and two electronically excited states of Te2- were determined.
