Evaporation from small particles

Abstract: van der Waals molecules as prepared in the laboratory are often found to be evaporating. Recent work has shown, sometimes by fiat, sometimes by calculation, that this can actually serve to characterize them precisely. The present article recapitulates these developments, establishes their roots in unimolecular reaction theory, and clarifies their limitations. Applications in a number of laboratory settings are noted.

“…Since G m varies only slowly with time, the decay rate is nearly proportional to t −1 [6,11,13,33]. It is interesting that the width of the region contributing effectively to the decay rate is quite narrow, 2σ/T m 2G −1 m < 10%, narrower by more than a factor of two than the width of a canonical distribution.…”

“…72 Key ingredients of this model are that the initial cluster distribution is broad, dissociation is a statistical process, and each cluster ion that is observed has undergone at least one evaporation. The small heat capacity of clusters containing less than n ≈ 10 2 units ensures that each evaporation cools the cluster significantly, thus leading to a drastic (at least a factor 10) reduction of the rate coefficient k. As a result, an ion ensemble that is interrogated at some time t after ionization will be characterized by rather well defined upper and lower limits to its (vibrational) excitation energy E n * .…”

“…The order of reaction for the AsH 3 supply (1.3 for AA mode and 0.7 for AG mode) is smaller than that for the TEG supply (1.4 for AA mode and 1.9 for AG mode). From the theorem of monomolecular reactions [82] and unimolecular collision [83], Be(MeCp) 2 is less activated by the TEG supply, and thus, the order of reaction by the TEG supply tends to be 2. On the contrary, Be(MeCp) 2 is activated more by the AsH 3 supply, and thus, the order of reaction by AsH 3 supply tends to be 1.…”
