Imaging the state-to-state charge-transfer dynamics between the spin-orbit excited Ar⁺(²P_1/2) ion and N₂

The data reported a synergistic experimental and theoretical investigation on the charge-transfer dynamics between the spin-orbit excited Ar+(2P1/2) and N2, which has been rarely studied before. The product vibrational, rotational, and angular distributions are partially resolved by the high-resolution three-dimensional VMI imaging. Qualitatively, the trajectory surface-hopping calculations reproduced several main features of the experimental observations.本数据集报道了一项针对自旋轨道激发态Ar⁺(2P₁/₂)与氮气(N₂)之间电荷转移动力学的协同实验与理论研究，此类研究此前鲜有报道。产物的振动、转动及角向分布借助高分辨率三维速度映射成像(Velocity Map Imaging, VMI)技术得到了部分解析。定性而言，轨迹面跳跃(Trajectory Surface Hopping)计算复现了实验观测结果中的多项主要特征。
