چکیده

The angular distribution of photoelectrons emitted from water clusters has been measured by linearly polarized synchrotron radiation of 40 and 60 eV photon energy. Results are given for the three outermost valence orbitals. The emission patterns are found more isotropic than for isolated molecules. While a simple scattering model is able to explain most of the deviation from molecular behavior, some of our data also suggest an intrinsic change of the angular distribution parameter. The angular distribution function was mapped by rotating the axis of linear polarization of the synchrotron radiation.

Angle-Resolved Photoemission of Solvated Electrons in Sodium-Doped Clusters.

Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of the unpaired electron in sodium-doped water, methanol, ammonia, and dimethyl ether clusters is presented. The experimental observations and the complementary calculations are consistent with surface electrons for the cluster size range studied. Evidence against internally solvated electrons is provided by the photoelectron angular distribution. The t...

Electronic relaxation dynamics of water cluster anions.

The electronic relaxation dynamics of water cluster anions, (H(2)O)(n)(-), have been studied with time-resolved photoelectron imaging. In this investigation, the excess electron was excited through the p<--s transition with an ultrafast laser pulse, with subsequent electronic evolution monitored by photodetachment. All excited-state lifetimes exhibit a significant isotope effect (tau(D)2(O)/tau...

Photoelectron spectra of hydrated electron clusters vs . cluster size : connecting to bulk

Connecting cluster properties to bulk can result in new insights, both for the bulk and for clusters, and this is especially the case for the hydrated electron, e(aq), and its cluster counterparts. In bulk, e(aq) can be viewed as an anionic defect state of pure water, which is itself a large-band-gap semiconductor. Thus, when properly extrapolated to bulk, the properties of ðH2OÞ n clusters mus...

Photoelectron angular distributions from liquid water: effects of electron scattering.

Photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) from the liquid-water surface and from bulk liquid water are reported for water oxygen-1s ionization. Although less so than for the gas phase, the measured PADs from the liquid are remarkably anisotropic, even at electron kinetic energies lower than 100 eV, when elastic scattering cross sections for the outgoing electrons with other water molecules are...

Rotationally resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of autoionizing states of water

Rotationally resolved photoelectron spectra are reported for rovibronically state-selected autoionizing levels of water. These photoelectron spectra are helpful for the spectroscopic assignment of the autoionizing levels and provide considerable dynamical information on the mechanisms for the transfer of energy and angular momentum between the ion core and the Rydberg electron. As a result of a...
