Abstract
Two-body ion-ion neutralization cross sections have been measured for + and + and remeasured for + . Using a superimposed-beams method, a range of barycentric energies between 0. 15 and 200 eV was covered. The product behaved somewhat similarly for all reactants when plotted against the relative speed . For relative energies above 3 eV, varies slowly and is of a magnitude of /sec or greater. Below about 3 eV, however, begins to increase rather rapidly with decreasing energy, approaching the expected dependence. The low-energy data have been fitted to four-term polynomials in powers of . In this form the data can be extrapolated to the thermal range and rate constants obtained. Reaction rates (300 °K) are given for the above reactants, and also for + , + , + , and + , which were studied earlier.
