Even though low-energy electron scattering in liquid water is of high relevance for the modelling of radiation damage processes, radiolysis, and the analysis of photoelectron spectra, detailed scattering data have so far neither been accessible by experiment nor by theory. For lack of liquid water data, current descriptions thus use the amorphous ice data and/or rescaled gas phase parameters...
An in-depth understanding of the fundamental energetic and structural properties at or near the interface of nanoscaled aqueous aerosols is of fundamental and crucial importance in understanding the impacts of organic species, either of biogenic or anthropogenic origins in intervening the cloud formation microphysics and the intrinsic nature of clouds. To address these issues, we applied...
Electronic and chemical characterization of isolated nanoparticles produced in the gas phase is fundamental for understanding how peculiar properties of nano-scale matter develop from the atomic and molecular characters towards the macroscopic limit of bulk materials and ordinary interfaces.
In order to perform inner shell spectroscopy on both the free clusters building blocks and, in-situ,...
We report the first measurements of electron binding energies and photoelectron anisotropies of size-resolved, angle-dependent photoelectron spectra of lithium-doped dimethyl ether (CH$_3$OCH$_3$) clusters. Neutral clusters were studied in the range from the bare lithium atom to an average cluster size of 63 dimethyl ether molecules with a single lithium atom. Using a combination of density...
The spectroscopy of molecular compounds in the gas-phase delivers valuable information on the intrinsic properties of the molecule or cluster because there is no environment, such as a surface or a solvent, which may disturb the structural and electronic properties of the compound. Moreover, it allows the investigation of highly reactive or unstable species which may have very short lifetimes...
