Many large polyatomic molecules attach free low-energy electrons to form parent negative ions that subsequently decay by autodetachment, reverting to a neutral molecule and a free electron. Their lifetimes against autodetachment, however, span a broad range. This is consistent with a simple model in which it is assumed that electron capture initially forms an excited intermediate in which only ...

The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...

Background: The aim of present study was to analyze the effectiveness of electron filters in the Telecobalt radiotherapy treatment by simulation technique.  Materials and Methods: The BEAMnrc Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the electron filters of thickness of 0.5 gm/cm2 below the trimmer bar for 35 × 35 cm2 field size in Theratron Equinox-80 telecobalt unit. The electron filters were mad...

Zn-tetraphenylporphyrin (Zn-TPP) was deposited on a single layer of metal oxide, namely an Fe(001)-p(1×1)O surface. The filled and empty electronic states were measured by means of UV photoemission and inverse photoemission spectroscopy on a single monolayer and a 20 monolayer thick film. The ionization energy and the electron affinity of the organic film were deduced and the interface dipole w...

Yttrium can be loaded with hydrogen up to high concentrations causing dramatic structural and electronic changes of the host lattice. We report on angle-resolved photoemission experiments of the Y trihydride phase. Most importantly, we find the absence of metal d bands at the Fermi level and a set of flat, H-induced bands located at much higher binding energy than predicted, indicating an incre...

We report high resolution photoelectron spectra of Au2(-) using a newly built photoelectron imaging apparatus. Vibrationally resolved photoelectron images are obtained for the ground state detachment transition of Au2(-) at various photon energies (442.80-670.18 nm) at a resolution of 3 cm(-1) for low energy electrons. Franck-Condon simulations yield the vibrational temperature of Au2(-) and th...

Quantum chemical calculations using the density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level were performed ontwo quinoxaline derivatives named: 1-ethyl-3-methylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one (Et-N-Q=O) and 1benzyl-3-methylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one (Bz-N-Q=O) in order to correlate the structural and electronic properties, such as HOMO, LUMO energy values, frontier orbital energy gap, molecular dipole...
