Alkali-helium snowball complexes formed on helium nanodroplets.
We systematically investigate the formation and stability of snowballs formed by femtosecond photoionization of small alkali clusters bound to helium nanodroplets. For all studied alkali species Ak = (Na,K,Rb,Cs) we observe the formation of snowballs Ak(+)He(N) when multiply doping the droplets. Fragmentation of clusters Ak(N) upon ionization appears to enhance snowball formation. In the case o...
متن کاملStability of two-component alkali clusters formed on helium nanodroplets
The stability of two-component clusters consisting of light (Na or K) and heavy (Rb or Cs) alkali atoms formed on helium nanodroplets is studied by femtosecond laser ionization in combination with mass spectrometry. Characteristic stability patterns reflecting electron shell-closures are observed in dependence of the total number of atoms contained in the mixed clusters. Faster decay of the sta...
متن کاملAlkali–helium exciplex formation on the surface of helium nanodroplets. II. A time-resolved study
We have monitored the time evolution of the fluorescence of K*He exciplexes formed on the surface of helium nanodroplets using reversed time-correlated single photon counting. In modeling the present data and that from our previous work on Na*He, we find that partial spin–orbit coupling as well as the extraction energy of helium atoms from the droplet contribute to the observed dynamics of both...
متن کاملAlkali–helium exciplex formation on the surface of helium nanodroplets. I. Dispersed emission spectroscopy
Dispersed emission spectra collected upon the 4 P3/2,1/2←4 S1/2 optical excitation of K atoms attached to helium nanodroplets include broad, structured, red-shifted features which are shown to be due to K*He exciplex formation, paralleling our former observation of Na*He @J.

متن کاملSpectroscopy of Cold LiCa Molecules Formed on Helium Nanodroplets
We report on the formation of mixed alkali-alkaline earth molecules (LiCa) on helium nanodroplets and present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the ground and excited states of LiCa. Resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization time-of-flight (REMPI-TOF) spectroscopy and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy were used for the experimental investigation of LiCa from 1500...
