Cavity ring down dye laser spectroscopy of jet-cooled metal clusters: Cu2 and Cq
نویسنده
چکیده
Direct optical absorption measurements ofjet-cooled metal clusters formed in a pulsed molecular beam have been made using a sensitive new absorption technique employing pulsed laser sources. Metal clusters and other metal containing species have been observed in this initial study. Absorption measurements of the Cu, ‘A;-‘E’ system reveal strong intensities for vibronic bands seen only weakly in previous photoionization and LIF studies due to predissociation of the upper level. A previously unobserved weak band has been identified and tentatively assigned as an excitation out of the higher energy Jahn-Teller component of the cluster ground state. These results illustrate the potential of this approach for studying larger metal cluster species.

Infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy of water clusters: O–D stretching bands
The infrared O–D stretching spectrum of fully deuterated jet-cooled water clusters is reported. Sequential red-shifts in the single donor O–D stretches, which characterize the cooperative effects in the hydrogen bond network, were accurately measured for clusters up to (D2O)8 . Detailed comparisons with corresponding data obtained for (H2O)n clusters are presented. Additionally, rotational anal...

Electronic spectra are reported for the metal cluster (Tef) and metal cluster complex (Ag+-benzene, Mg'-C02) cations. These ions are generated by laser vaporization in a pulsed nozzle source, jet-cooled, mass-selected with a reflectron time-of-flight spectrometer, and dissociated on resonance with a tunable dye laser. Electronic excitation spectra are recorded by monitoring the appearance of th...

Cavity ringdown laser absorption spectroscopy and time-of-flight mass spectroscopy of jet-cooled copper silicides
The cavity ringdown technique has been implemented for electronic spectroscopy of jet-cooled CuSi produced in a pulsed UV laser vaporization plasma reactor. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer is used to simultaneously monitor species produced in the supersonic expansion and allows correlation studies to be performed. Seven rotationally resolved vibronic bands have been measured near 400 nm, yie...
