18. Note that, given that the ionization potential of a Ta atom is greater than the energy of one photon at 193 nm, the observation of Ta atoms in our mass spectra must correspond to photoionization of electronically excited atoms. We do not feel that such excitation will influence the observed kinetics significantly, unless bond cleavage and isomerization processes are involved.
