Abstract

We report measured partial cross sections for the fragments from dissociative photoionization of N₂ and O₂ over the photon energy range of 100 to 800 eV. The partial cross sections were found to follow a power law of the form (hv)^-α, where hv is the incident photon energy. The exponent, a, is shown to be near 2.7 for N⁺₂ and for all N₂ partial cross sections above the nitrogen K-edge. An exponent of 3.0 was found for O⁺₂ and for all O₂ partial cross sections above the oxygen K-edge.
