This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shape resonances in the electronic continuum of molecules induce strong coupling between vibrational and electronic motion over a spectral range much broader than the resonance half width. In photoionization, this coupling causes large deviations from Franck-Condon intensity distributions and strong dependence of photoelectron angular distributions on the vibrational state of the residual ion. In electron scattering, it enhances vibrational excitation. Recent work is reviewed in which new, observable manifestations of this coupling were predicted theoretically and then verified experimentally. 67 references.
