Dissociative Ionization of Molecular CF2Br2 under 800 and 400 nm Intense Femtosecond Laser Fields

Abstract

The interaction between the CF2Br2 molecule and 800/400 nm intense femtosecond laser fields is investigated by direct current (dc)sliced velocity mapping imaging implementation. By analyzing the kinetic energy release distribution and angular distribution of fragment ions, the dissociation channels along C-Br bond cleavage have been determined. The isotropic structure of the angular distribution for CF2Br+ ions is attributed to the coupling between the excited states. Additionally, a unique elimination channel of CF2Br2+ → CF2 + Br2+ has been observed and identified in the case of 400 nm laser field, in which the two C-Br bonds break asynchronously.
