Abstract

The autodetachment of the long-lived c-C4F-6* anion was found to increase with increasing temperature, T, over the range 300 to 550 K. The autodetachment coefficient, δ, was measured as a function of T in a buffer gas of N2 at a mean electron energy of ≈0.33 eV. Under these same conditions the electron attachment coefficient, η, decreases with increasing T for T≳450 K.
