Photoionization of the valence orbitals of OH

Abstract

We report the results of studies of the photoionization cross sections and asymmetry parameters for the 3σ and 1π levels of OH, corresponding to the production of the A ^3Π, c ^1Π, a ^1Δ, b ^1Σ+, and X ^3Σ− molecular ions. The calculations employed multiplet‐specific Hartree–Fock potentials and numerical photoelectron continuum orbitals, obtained using the iterative Schwinger variational method. Noticeable nonstatistical behavior of the cross sections is seen, mainly for the 1π level, although deviations are not as pronounced as in other open‐shell systems. Comparison with fragmentary experimental data is encouraging, although synchrotron radiation studies are needed to fully assess the accuracy of the calculated cross sections.
