Photo-ionization of Aromatic Compounds in Hydrocarbon Glass at 77° K

PHOTO-IONIZATION in hydrocarbon glasses has been reported for amines 1,2 which are known to possess low ionization potentials. In these cases, photo-ionization is proportional to the intensity of the photolysing light. Photo-ionization has been established by observing one or more of the following:...

Description
Summary:PHOTO-IONIZATION in hydrocarbon glasses has been reported for amines 1,2 which are known to possess low ionization potentials. In these cases, photo-ionization is proportional to the intensity of the photolysing light. Photo-ionization has been established by observing one or more of the following: absorption spectra of ions and/or electrons 1–3 ; delayed luminescence 4 ; thermoluminescence 3,5 ; electron spin resonance spectra of electrons 5 ; optical bleaching of electrons and the resulting luminescence 5 ; photoconductivity 6 .
