Photoionization of the aqueous phase: clusters, droplets and liquid jets

This perspective article reviews specific challenges associated with photoemission spectroscopy of bulk liquid water, aqueous solutions, water droplets and water clusters. The main focus lies on…

Photoemission from Free Particles and Droplets.

The utility of photoemission from submicrometer-sized, dielectric particles and droplets is explained, several applications from the literature are summarized, and some thoughts on future research directions are presented.

Low-energy photoelectron transmission through aerosol overlayers.

The transmission of low-energy photoelectrons through the shell of core-shell aerosol particles is studied for liquid squalane, squalene, and di-ethyl-hexyl-sebacate shells to provide a first comparison of aerosol and traditional thin film overlayer methods.

Low-Energy Electron Escape from Liquid Interfaces: Charge and Quantum Effects.

The observed susceptibility to the characteristics of the electron escape barrier might provide access to these properties for liquid interfaces, which are generally difficult to investigate.

Detailed knowledge about photo-induced electron dynamics in water is key to the understanding of several biological and chemical mechanisms, in particular for those resulting from ionizing radiation.…

Solvent Effects for Vertical Ionization Processes in Liquid Water and at the Liquid-Vapor Interface

Liquid microjet photoelectron spectroscopy is a state-of-the-art experimental technique that provides avenues for investigating ultrafast charge and energy transfer processes in liquid water and…

Size-Resolved Photoelectron Anisotropy of Gas Phase Water Clusters and Predictions for Liquid Water.

First measurements of size-resolved photoelectron angular distributions for the valence orbitals of neutral water clusters with up to 20 molecules are reported, suggesting the latter to be the result of a local short-range scattering potential that is fully described by a unit of 5-6 molecules.

An Alternative Approach for the Determination of Mean Free Paths of Electron Scattering in Liquid Water Based on Experimental Data.

An approach to determine elastic and inelastic mean free paths (EMFP, IMFP) based on experimental data is introduced and it is shown that ab-initio calculations of electron scattering with water clusters converge with cluster size, thus providing access to condensed-phase scattering.

Electron-induced fragmentation of water droplets: Simulation study.

The transport of free electrons in a water environment is still poorly understood. We show that additional insight can be brought about by investigating fragmentation patterns of finite-size…

Electron mean free path from angle-dependent photoelectron spectroscopy of aerosol particles.

We propose angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of aerosol particles as an alternative way to determine the electron mean free path of low energy electrons in solid and liquid materials. The…

Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of hydrated electrons near a liquid water surface.

It is indicated that surface and subsurface species create hydrated electrons in the bulk side in aqueous solutions, and no signature of a surface-bound electron has been observed.

Angle-resolved threshold photoelectron spectra are recorded for size-selected beams of sodium chloride nanoparticles (radius = 25−250 nm). The photoelectron angular distributions exhibit a…

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 and the trends in the ionization energies seem to be mainly determined by the degree of hydrogen bonding in the solvent and the solvation of the ion core.

Solvated electrons at the water-air interface: surface versus bulk signal in low kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy.

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy at low kinetic energies (≲5 eV) is applied to dilute iodide solutions with different surface and bulk contributions. The results indicate a pronounced surface…

Size-dependent velocity map photoelectron imaging of nanosized ammonia aerosol particles.

Constant ("plateau") values of these parameters are found for larger aggregates, which might be explained by a predominantly noncrystalline structure of these aggregates with an average coordination similar to that of the liquid.

Experimental evidence for the dominance of the fast intermolecular proton transfer over monomer fragmentation reactions upon ionization is presented via photoion imaging.

Photoacoustics of single laser-trapped nanodroplets for the direct observation of nanofocusing in aerosol photokinetics

It is shown that photoacoustic measurements on optically trapped single nanodroplets provide a direct, broadly applicable method to measure absorption with attolitre sensitivity, and the versatility of the technique promises broad applicability to absorption studies of aerosol particles.

Size-dependent ultrafast ionization dynamics of nanoscale samples in intense femtosecond x-ray free-electron-laser pulses.

It is shown that for nanoscale objects the environment, i.e., nanoparticle size, is an important parameter for the time-dependent ionization dynamics and the Auger lifetimes of large Ar clusters are found to be increased compared to small clusters and isolated atoms.
