Single photon ionization of van der Waals clusters with a soft x-ray laser: (CO2)n and (CO2)n(H2O)m.

Single photon ionization of van der Waals clusters with a soft x-ray laser: (SO2)n and (SO2)n(H2O)m.

van der Waals cluster (SO2)n is investigated by using single photon ionization of a 26.5 eV soft x-ray laser. During the ionization process, neutral clusters suffer a small fragmentation because almost all energy is taken away by the photoelectron and a small part of the photon energy is deposited into the (SO2)n cluster. The distribution of (SO2)n clusters decreases roughly exponentially with ...

Single photon ionization of van der Waals clusters with a soft x-ray laser: and F. DongS. Heinbuch and J. J. RoccaE

Dynamics and fragmentation of van der Waals clusters: (H2O)n, (CH3OH)n, and (NH3)n upon ionization by a 26.5 eV soft x-ray laser.

A tabletop soft x-ray laser is applied for the first time as a high energy photon source for chemical dynamics experiments in the study of water, methanol, and ammonia clusters through time of flight mass spectroscopy. The 26.5 eV/photon laser (pulse time duration of approximately 1 ns) is employed as a single photon ionization source for the detection of these clusters. Only a small fraction o...

Nanoparticles of coordination polymer [Co2(pydc)2(H2O)6]n.2n H2O [H2pydc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid] have been synthesized by sonochemical method and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, DLS particle size analysis and TGA/DTA. The structure of single crystalline coordination polymer developed from nanosized coo...

Single photon ionization of hydrogen bonded clusters with a soft x-ray laser: (HCOOH)x and (HCOOH)y(H2O)z.

Pure, neutral formic acid (HCOOH)n+1 clusters and mixed (HCOOH)(H2O) clusters are investigated employing time of flight mass spectroscopy and single photon ionization at 26.5 eV using a very compact, capillary discharge, soft x-ray laser. During the ionization process, neutral clusters suffer little fragmentation because almost all excess energy above the vertical ionization energy is taken awa...
