Description
Summary:The technique of resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS), makes use of the resonant absorption of photons via allowed electronic transitions to transfer an electron in a neutral gaseous atom (or molecule) from some initial state through various excited states to the continuum. This process can be elementally, even isotopically, selective. The product is an ion pair, and either the electron or the cation of the pair can be detected. The present symposium is the latest in a biannual series of meetings dealing with the photophysics of the RIS process in its many forms, with proposed applications and with descriptions of developed applications.
