چکیده
We Coulomb explode argon and neon dimers, trimers, and tetramers by multiple ionization in an ultrashort 800 nm laser pulse. By measuring all momentum vectors of the singly charged ions in coincidence, we determine the ground state nuclear wave function of the dimer, trimer, and tetramer. Furthermore we retrieve the bond angles of the trimer in position space by applying a classical numerical simulation. For the argon and neon trimer, we find a structure close to the equilateral triangle. The width of the distribution around the equilateral triangle is considerably wider for neon than for argon.

In this study, electronic structures of ground state of pure vanadium sub-nano clusters, Vn (n=2-5), and their interactions with small ligands for example CO and triplet O2 molecules are investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calibration at the mPWPW91/QZVP level of theory. The favorable orientations of these ligands in interaction with pure vanadium sub-nano clusters were determ...
متن کاملWhat is the shape of the helium trimer? A comparison with the neon and argon trimers.
Despite its apparent simplicity and extensive theoretical investigations, the issue of what is the shape of the helium trimer is still debated in the literature. After reviewing previous conflicting interpretations of computational studies, we introduce the angle-angle distribution function as a tool to discuss in a simple way the shape of any trimer. We compute this function along with many di...
متن کاملComputational Study on Oligomer Formation of Fibril-forming Peptide of α-Synuclein
We have studied the oligomerization of a fibril-forming segment of α-Synulcein using a replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulation. The simulation was performed with trimers and tetramers of a 12 amino acid residue stretch (residues 71-82) of α-Synulcein. From extensive REMD simulations, we observed the spontaneous formation of both trimer and tetramer, demonstrating the self-aggregat...
متن کاملPolygalacturonase of Erwinia carotovora.
The polygalacturonase, clearly differentiated from polygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase, produced in the culture fluid of Erwinia carotovora was purified 56-fold by means of acetone precipitation, acetate butfer extraction, and two successive treatments by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose. The purified enzyme is specific for nonmethoxylated polygalacturonic acid. It shows an optimum p...

The molecular associations in the binary mixtures of (methanol/solvent), (ethanol/solvent) and (propanol/solvent) were studied using NMR, FTIR and VLE data at different temperatures. The activity coefficients as the most important quantities representing the mixture deviation form ideal behavior were evaluated by using various association models to express the physical and chemical contribution...
