Electron Diffraction Imaging of Molecular Nanostructures and Molecular Motions

Molecular Motions in Functional Self-Assembled Nanostructures

The construction of "smart" materials able to perform specific functions at the molecular scale through the application of various stimuli is highly attractive but still challenging. The most recent applications indicate that the outstanding flexibility of self-assembled architectures can be employed as a powerful tool for the development of innovative molecular devices, functional surfaces an...

Laser induced electron diffraction: a tool for molecular orbital imaging

We explore the laser-induced ionization dynamics of N2 and CO2 molecules subjected to a fewcycle, linearly polarized, 800 nm laser pulse using effective two-dimensional single active electron time-dependent quantum simulations. We show that the electron recollision process taking place after an initial tunnel ionization stage results in quantum interference patterns in the energy resolved photo...

Ultrafast Molecular Imaging by Laser Induced Electron Diffraction

molecular and physiological characterizations of floral scent production in rosa damascena mill.

گل محمدی (r. damascena mill.)مهمترین گونه ای است که در تولید گلاب، عطر و اسانس، در صنعت عطرسازی و دارویی کاربرد دارد. با وجود اهمیت عطر گل محمدی، پژوهش های مولکولی و بیوشیمیایی عطر گل این گونه هنوز در مراحل ابتدایی است. در این پژوهش، ویژگی های مولکولی و فیزیولوژیکی تولید عطر در گل محمدی در آزمایش های مختلف مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. در آزمایش اول، پژوهشی به منظور بررسی تنوع شیمیایی اسانس میان 44 ت...

Femtosecond electron diffraction: 'making the molecular movie'.

Femtosecond electron diffraction (FED) has the potential to directly observe transition state processes. The relevant motions for this barrier-crossing event occur on the hundred femtosecond time-scale. Recent advances in the development of high-flux electron pulse sources with the required time resolution and sensitivity to capture barrier-crossing processes are described in the context of att...
