Notes:
The (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectrum of phosphorus atoms is reported for the wavelength range 300–317 nm. Atomic phosphorus is formed by multiphoton photodissociation of phosphorus tribromide vapor. Photoelectron spectroscopy conducted at phosphorus ionization resonances produces pure populations of P+(3PJ) and P+(1D2) ions. Production of a mixture of phosphorus ionic states indicates a clear propensity to preserve the ion core electron configuration upon ionization of phosphorus. Four spin-changing transitions are assigned supported by photoelectron spectral data.
