Catching proteins in liquid helium droplets.
An experimental approach is presented that allows for the incorporation of large mass-to-charge ratio selected ions in liquid helium droplets. It is demonstrated that droplets can be efficiently doped with a mass-to-charge ratio selected amino acid as well as with the much bigger m ≈ 12,000 amu protein cytochrome C in selected charge states. The sizes of the ion-doped droplets are determined vi...
متن کاملGeneration of charged droplets by field ionization of liquid helium
Positively charged helium droplets were produced by ionization of liquid helium in an electrostatic spraying experiment, in which fluid emerging from a thin glass capillary was ionized by applying a high voltage to a needle inside the capillary. At 2.2 K, fine droplets (<10 μm in diameter) were produced in pulsed sprays or showers with total currents as high as 0.4 μA at relatively low voltages...
متن کاملPhotoelectron imaging of helium droplets.
The photoionization and photoelectron spectroscopy of He nanodroplets (10(4) atoms) has been studied by photoelectron imaging with photon energies from 22.5-24.5 eV. Total electron yield measurements reveal broad features, whose onset is approximately 1.5 eV below the ionization potential of atomic He. The photoelectron spectra are dominated by very low energy electrons, with less than 0...
متن کاملDensity of Superfluid Helium Droplets
The classical integral cross sections of large superfluid 4He N droplets and the number of atoms in the droplets (N = 103 − 104) have been measured in molecular beam scattering experiments. These measurements are found to be in good agreement with the cross sections predicted from density functional calculations of the radial density distributions with a 10–90% surface thickness of 5.7Å. By usi...
متن کاملPhotoionization dynamics in pure helium droplets.
The photoionization and photoelectron spectroscopy of pure He droplets were investigated at photon energies between 24.6 eV (the ionization energy of He) and 28.0 eV. Time-of-flight mass spectra and photoelectron images were obtained at a series of molecular beam source temperatures and pressures to assess the effect of droplet size on the photoionization dynamics. At source temperatures below ...
