Kameta, N. Kouchi, M. Ukai, Y. Hatano Title: Photoabsorption, photoionization, and neutral-dissociation cross sections of simple hydrocarbons in the vacuum ultraviolet range Journal/Source: J. Electron Spectr. Rel. Phenomena, 123 (2-3), 225-238, (2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0368-2048(02)00022-1 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The absolute photoabsorption cross sections of CH4 and n-C4H10 have been measured in the photon energy range of the valence electrons using a double ionization chamber equipped with a metallic thin film window and synchrotron radiation as a continuous-wavelength light source.
