Abstract
Electron-stimulated desorption of anions from thin films of linear and supercoiled DNA is investigated in the range 3-20 eV. Resonant structures are observed with maxima at 9.4+/-0.3, 9.2+/-0.3, and 9.2+/-0.3 eV, respectively, in the yield dependence of H-, O-, and OH- on the incident electron energy. Their formation is attributed to dissociative electron attachment.Mesh:
