Molecular frame image restoration and partial wave analysis of photoionization dynamics of NO by time-energy mapping of photoelectron angular distribution.
The benchmark system of molecular photoionization dynamics, the (1+1{'}) two-photon ionization of NO via the A state, is investigated using the time-energy mapping of the photoelectron angular distribution in a laboratory frame. The molecular frame photoelectron angular distribution and partial wave composition are determined from time-energy maps and compared with those obtained by Schwinger variational calculation (SVC) and state-to-state photoelectron spectroscopy. Good agreement is found with SVC. By comparison of the phase shifts of the scattering waves and the quantum defects of the Rydberg states, the l hybridization of p waves is identified.
