Analysis of Molecular Structure by Photoionization Methods

Abstract

In recent years, the photoionization technique has taken a new advance in development, namely, the study of the photoionization using mass spectrometric technique and the study of the energy spectra of the photoelectrons. These techniques has been used to analysis the electronic and vibrational levels of molecules. Here, the physical meaning of ionization threshold law and a few topics on photoionization processes are briefly described.
