Outline Activities
[Research]
We are originally developing an equipment for observing Coulomb crystal and liquid in a DC glow discharge. Using this equipment, the following phenomena have newly been observed. (i) The levitated microparticles are clearly separated in a few layers (or phases): the lower layer is crystal-like and sparse, the middle layer is relatively dense and the included particles are slowly moving, and the upper layer consists of very fast-moving microparticles. (ii) There are three trap areas in this equipment. The flow of microparticles between the center and side areas has been observed. It is possible to control the flow direction by suitably adjusting the applied voltage to the electrodes. In addition, we are going with molecular dynamics calculations to reproducing the experimental results.

1. Kohei Oda, Takuro Tsutsumi, Srihari Keshavamurthy, Kenji Furuya, P. B. Armentrout, and Tetsuya Taketsugu, Dynamically Hidden Reaction Paths in the Reaction of CF3+ + CO, ACS Phys. Chem. Au, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsphyschemau.2c00012, 2022.05, Reaction paths on a potential energy surface are widely used in quantum chemical studies of chemical reactions. The recently developed global reaction route mapping (GRRM) strategy automatically constructs a reaction route map, which provides a complete picture of the reaction. Here, we thoroughly investigate the correspondence between the reaction route map and the actual chemical reaction dynamics for the CF3+ + CO reaction studied by guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry (GIBMS). In our experiments, FCO+, CF2+, and CF+ product ions were observed, whereas if the collision partner is N2, only CF2+ is observed. Interestingly, for reaction with CO, GRRM predicted reaction paths leading to the CF+ + F2CO product channel are found at a barrier height of about 2.5 eV, whereas the experimentally obtained threshold for CF+ formation was 7.48 +- 0.15 eV. In other words, the ion was not obviously observed in the GIBMS experiment even unless a much higher collision energy than the requisite energy threshold was given. On-the-fly molecular dynamics simulations revealed a mechanism that hides these reaction paths, in which a non-statistical energy distribution at the first collisionally reached transition state prevents the reaction from proceeding along some reaction paths. Our results highlight the existence of dynamically hidden reaction paths that may be inaccessible in experiments at specific energies and hence the importance of reaction dynamics in controlling the destinations of chemical reactions..
2. Kenji Furuya, Akihiro Ide, Akira Harata, Mass spectrometric investigation of high-mass neutral species in the downstream region of Ar/CH4 plasmas, Journal of Applied Physics, 10.1063/1.3605543, 110, 1, 013304, 2011.07, Mass analysis was carried out on neutral species in the downstream region of Ar/CH4 plasmas. The ionization of the neutral species by Li+ attachment, which can inhibit the fragmentation accompanied by ionization in most cases, successfully led to the observation of high-mass neutral hydrocarbons containing up to twenty-seven carbon atoms. Pure Ar and Ar/H2 plasmas were also used to investigate the influence of sputtering of an amorphous hydrocarbon (a-C:H) film deposited during the generation of the Ar/CH4 plasmas. In addition, time dependence of intensity in several neutral species accompanied by the growth of the a-C:H film and its CH4 partial pressure dependence were observed for the first time. On the basis of the present experimental results, the desorption of high-mass neutral molecules from the film to the gas phase is concluded..
