Singlet and triplet excitations in C5F10O induced by electrons and photons: Spectroscopy and dynamics.
C5F10O [heptafluoroisopropyl(trifluoromethyl)ketone] has emerged as a promising alternative to sulfur hexafluoride for the use in gas-insulated switchgears. Despite its technological relevance, its interactions with low-energy electrons remain largely unexplored. Electron impact can populate both singlet and triplet el...
