Abstract
Synopsis
We report an experimental study about the Jahn-Teller effect resulted from the ionization of the high-est occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) 1t2 of methane. The difference of the electron momentum distributions for the Jahn-Teller splitting components reveals the strong interaction between electronic and nuclear vibrational motion.
