Photodetachment of electrons from phosphide ion - The electron affinity of PH2.
Measurement of the relative cross section for photodetachment of electrons from PH2(-) in the wavelength region 725 to 1020 nm (1.71 to 1.22 eV). An ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer was used to generate, trap, and detect the negative ions, and two light sources were employed to study photodetachment: a 1000-W xenon arc lamp with a grating monochromator and a continuously tunable laser. A single sharp threshold in the cross-section curve was observed, and a detailed analysis yielded an electron affinity value of 1.25 plus or minus 0.03 eV.
Gas-phase basicities of amines.
Relative gas-phase basicities of some aliphatic amines have been determined by ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. It is found that increasing alkyl substitution increases basicity if similar substituents are compared, that increases in alkyl group size also increase basicity, and that increasing degree of substitution lowers the N-H bond dissociation energy in ammonium ions. Possible origins of these defects are discussed.
Alkyl substituent effects on gas-phase acidities - The influence of hybridization.
Exploration of the effect on acidity of alkyl groups bonded to trigonal and digonal carbon. Some results on the relative acidities of toluene and p-xylene, and acetylene and substitute acetylenes, as determined by ion cyclotron resonance (icr) spectroscopy, are described. Some limitations of the CNDO/2 calculation method are discussed.
Photodetachment of electrons from amide and arsenide ions - The electron affinities of NH2., and AsH2.
The relative cross section for the gas-phase photodetachment of electrons has been determined for NH2(-) in the wavelength region of 1195 to 1695 nm and for AsH2(-) in the region from 620 to 1010 nm. An ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer was used to generate, trap, and detect negative ions. A 1000-W xenon arc lamp with a grating monochromator was used as the light source, except for one series of experiments in which a tunable laser was employed. Single sharp thresholds were observed in both cross sections, and the following electron affinity values were determined: 0.744 (plus or minus 0.022) eV for NH2. and 1.27 (plus or minus 0.03) eV for AsH2.
Ion-molecule collision frequencies in gases determined by phase coherent pulsed ICR.
The transient method considered is analogous to similar phase coherence experiments performed in NMR and plasma physics. Using a pulsed ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) spectrometer equipped with a trapped ion analyzer cell, gaseous ions are formed by a pulse of an electron beam and then trapped in the cell by the combined effects of the magnetic and electrostatic fields. The results obtained in the experiments indicate that the classical mobility treatment of Wannier (1953) is helpful in the understanding of collision frequencies under the considered conditions.
Photodetachment of an electron from selenide ion - The electron affinity and spin-orbit coupling constant for SeH.
The relative cross section for the gas phase photodetachment of an electron from SeH(-) was determined in the wavelength region 428 to 578 nm. An ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer was used to generate, trap, and detect the negative ions, and a 1000-W xenon arc lamp with a grating monochromator was employed as the light source. The cross section exhibited two sharp thresholds, whose positions remained unchanged for the photodetachment of SeD(-). As a result of these thresholds, the electron affinity and the spin-orbit coupling constant were evaluated.
Storm time instabilities of the ring current.
Demonstration that the resonant cyclotron instability between radiation belt protons and ion-cyclotron waves can account for many observed features of the magnetospheric ring current. Analogous results apply to the electron-whistler interaction although the former are not considered to be important for ring current energetics. Particles with energy exceeding 100 keV are readily destabilized throughout the entire magnetosphere and their fluxes are consequently limited to the stably trapped levels described by Kennel and Petschek (1966). However, at the dominant ring current energies between 10 and 100 keV, a broad zone of stability exists in the region just outside the plasmapause. Particles injected into this outer zone during substorms may remain trapped for many drift orbits allowing an intense ring current to develop. In direct contrast, this stable ring current zone is bounded by regions of rapid precipitational loss within the plasmasphere and at large radial distance in the auroral zone.
Investigation of interaction between Pc 1 and 2 and Pc 5 micropulsations at the synchronous orbit during magnetic storms.
Coincident Pc 5 and Pc 1 and 2 micropulsations were observed at the synchronous equatorial satellite ATS 1 during the main phase of 11 geomagnetic storms that occurred in 1967. The Pc 1 and 2 oscillations were quasi sinusoidal, with periods of 5-20 sec and amplitudes of 1-2 gammas. Their average polarization was transverse to the ambient magnetic field. The oscillations were elliptical and rotation was to the left in relation to the main field. The observed characteristics suggest that the Pc 1 and 2 activity was due to ion cyclotron resonance of Alfven waves with energetic protons.
Mass spectrometry.
Review of the current state of mass spectrometry, indicating its unique importance for advanced scientific research. Mass spectrometry applications in computer techniques, gas chromatography, ion cyclotron resonance, molecular fragmentation and ionization, and isotope labeling are covered.

As the subjects of these applications are indicated alkaloids, carbohydrates, lipids, terpenes, quinones, nucleic acid components, peptides, antibiotics, and human and animal metabolisms. Particular attention is given to the mass spectra of organo-inorganic compounds, inorganic mass spectrometry, surface phenomena such as secondary ion and electron emission, and elemental and isotope analysis. Further topics include mass spectrometry in organic geochemistry, applications in geochronology and cosmochemistry, and organic mass spectrometry.
The origin and propagation of chorus in the outer magnetosphere
Wave normals of chorus in the outer magnetosphere have been determined for the first time from data obtained with the Ogo 5 search coil magnetometer. These measurements combined with simultaneous information concerning geomagnetic field, plasma density, and the electron energy and pitch angle distributions provide a consistent picture of the generation, propagation, and subsequent damping of chorus in agreement with theory. Specifically, the data are consistent with chorus generation within 25 deg of the equatorial plane on the dayside and within 2 deg on the nightside. Chorus is generated by a Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance with electrons between 5 and 150 keV but only when the pitch angle distribution is peaked at 90 deg to the local magnetic field and the anisotropy exceeds a critical value.
