This paper reviews the knowledge of the structure, dynamics and collisions of atomic
negative ions, as accumulated at the end of 2003, and describes how the research exploring …

This review focuses on the use of accelerator-based methods to investigate the interaction
between negative ions and photons, electrons, heavy particles and external electric fields …

This article updates a 14 yr old review on this subject [J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 14, 731
(1985)]. A survey of the electron affinity determinations for the elements up to Z= 94 is …

Br− ions undergo photodetachment in the presence of an electric field. As a result of the
photoexcitation process, the emitted electron's wave function extends to infinity, but inside a …

The bound excited np 3 2 D terms of Si−, Ge−, and Sn− have been investigated with a
combination of single-and multiphoton tunable infrared laser experiments. The binding …

Photodetachment microscopy has been used in a double-pass, field-collinear scheme in
order to measure the electron affinity of atomic oxygen. As an illustration of the sensitivity of …

The electron affinity of Ir is measured to be 12617.4 (12) cm− 1 [1.56436 (15) eV], from
photodetachment studies on Ir−. Previous measurements of the electron affinity of platinum …

This paper provides a general theoretical description of a weakly bound atomic system (a
negative ion) interacting simultaneously with two (generally strong) fields, a static electric …

Alkali-metal clusters have become a subject of great interest in condensed matter physics.
Many interesting phenomena have been observed during the past decade by experimental …

Experimental results obtained about the atomic physics of negative ions since the Physica
Scripta 1991 review are presented. Most new data concern the metastable states and …
