\begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_4^{2 + } \to {\text{CH}}_3^ + + {{\text{H}}^ + } $\end{document} channel has been extensively studied, but the explanation of the dissociation mechanism for this channel is controversial. In this work, the double-photoionization experiment of CH4 by extreme ultraviolet photon (XUV) in an energy range of 25-44 eV and the collision experiment between 1 MeV Ne8+ and CH4 are carried out by using the reaction microscope. The three-dimensional (3D) momenta of \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_3^ + $\end{document} and H+ ions are measured in coincidence, the corresponding kinetic energy release (KER) is reconstructed, and fragmentation dynamics from the parent ion \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_4^{2 + } $\end{document} to the \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_3^ + + {{\text{H}}^ + } $\end{document} ion pair are investigated. In the photoionization experiment, two peaks in the KER spectrum are observed: one is located around 4.75 eV, and the other lies at 6.09 eV. Following the conclusions of previous experiments and the theoretical calculations of Williams et al. (Williams J B, Trevisan C S, Schöffler M S, et al. 2012 J. Phys. B At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 45 194003), we discuss the corresponding mechanism of each KER peak. For the 6.09 eV peak, we attribute it to the \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_4^{2 + } $\end{document} dissociation caused by the Jahn-Teller effect, because this value is consistent with the energy difference in energy between the \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_4^{2 + } $\end{document} 1E initial state and the \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_3^ + /{{\text{H}}^ + } $\end{document} final state involving the Jahn-Teller effect. For the 4.75 eV peak, we believe that it may come from the direct dissociation of \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_4^{2 + } $\end{document} without contribution from the Jahn-Teller effect. More specifically, Williams et al. presented the potential energy curve for one C—H bond stretching to 8 a.u., while other C—H bonds are fixed at the initial geometry of the CH4 molecule. In the reflection approximation, we infer that the extra energy is released from the internuclear distance of 8 a.u. to infinity. It is found that the KER is 4.7 eV, which is consistent with the experimental observation, suggesting that the KER peak at 4.75 eV may arise from the direct dissociation of \begin{document}$ {\text{CH}}_4^{2 + } $\end{document} without contribution from the Jahn-Teller effect. In addition, in the 1 MeV Ne8+ ion collision experiment, it is observed that the released energy values corresponding to the three KER peaks are about 4.65, 5.76, and 7.94 eV. By comparing the branching ratio of each peak with the previous experimental result, it is suggested that the velocity effect is not significant in KER spectra."> - 必威体育下载
