MOLECULAR ION DETECTION BY A LASER INDUCED CHANGE IN MOBILITY.
Abstract
The authors report the optogalvanic detection of molecular ions (N//2** plus ,CO** plus ) via a laser induced change in ion mobility. The technique relies on a difference in collision limited transport of excited vs. ground state ions, and provides a uniquely sensitive probe of ions in the cathode sheath region of glow discharges.
