Electron-impact spectroscopy

Electron - impact spectroscopy of acetaldehydea >

Acetaldehyde has been studied by the technique of low-energy variable-angle electron energyloss spectroscopy. With this method the low-lying spin-forbidden transitions have been located via the behavior of the relative differential cross sections, providing the first identification by this technique of such states in acetaldehyde. High-lying states were also investigated and some assignments of...

Electron - impact spectroscopy of various diketone compoundsa >

The spectra ofthe diketone compounds biacetyl, acetylacetone, acetonylacetone, 1,2cyclohexanedione, and 1,4-cyclohexanedione have been investigated by the technique oflowenergy variable-angle electron energy-loss spectroscopy. With this method low-lying, spinforbidden transitions have been observed. The energy difference between the lowest spin-allowed and spin-forbidden n-+ 1r* excitations in ...

What can electron impact spectroscopy offer to photochemistry? Triplet states, negative ions and intramolecular electron transfer

The principles of the electron impact methods Electron Energy Loss (EEL) spectroscopy, Electron Transmission (ET) spectroscopy, measurement of EnergyDependence (ED) of vibrational excitation, and Dissociative Attachment (DA) spectroscopy are briefly introduced. The possibilities of modem instrumentation are illustrated with the examples of molecular oxygen and 1,3-butadiene. The following subje...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Electron Spectroscopy of Surfaces

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is one of the most established methods for determining the elemental composition and the chemical state of solid surfaces and thin films. This experiment focuses on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), which exploits Xray photons to excite electrons from the core levels of the atoms of a solid into the vacuum, thus probing the electronic structure of matter w...
