โฆ Synopsis
Nitrogen atoms, as highly charged as N 5+, are found to be formed upon the irradiation of (NH3) . clusters with an intense femtosecond laser beam. Kinetic energy release values of the nitrogen atoms, from the Coulomb explosion of ammonia clusters, are found to be on the order of several hundred electron volts as calculated from the peak splittings, and also directly measured from cutoff potentials using a reflectron as an energy analyzer. Also, we observe a Coulomb explosion process which results in the production of intact cluster ions, and we propose a mechanism for their formation.
