摘要
Interference effects are expected to occur when electrons are emitted coherently within a multi-center molecular field. This phenomenon is analogous to Young's two-slit experiment. The present work focuses on ionization of H,, a molecule composed of two indistinguishable centers, by 3 and 5 MeV H+ impact. A parallel-plate electron spectrometer was used to investigate electron emission in the range similar to3-250 eV at observation angles of 30degrees, 45degrees, 90degrees, 135degrees and 150degrees with respect to the incident beam. To help identify interference effects, experimental cross-sections were normalized to CDW-EIS calculations for electron emission from two independent H atoms. A sinusoidal-like variation was observed in the normalized electron emission yield for electron energies less than similar to250 eV in general agreement with model calculations.
