From: Imaging the state-to-state charge-transfer dynamics between the spin-orbit excited Ar+(2P1/2) ion and N2

Fig. 1

a The central slice image of the three-dimensional N2+ velocity distribution for the charge-transfer process between the spin-orbit excited Ar+(2P1/2) ion and N2 at the center-of-mass (COM) collision energy of 1.58 eV. The moving directions of N2 and Ar+ beams in the COM frame are indicated by the red arrows, and the kinematic cutoffs for each vibrational level of N2+ considering the anharmonic corrections are indicated by the red concentric rings. The color bar represents the absolute product ion count. b The N2+ product velocity distributions in various angular ranges. The vibrational levels of the N2+ product are indicated by the black droplines, and the positions of the rotational levels J′ = 10, 20, and 30 of N2+ in each vibrational level are indicated by the red droplines.
