Photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the electronic structure in situ an ultrahigh vacuum before and after adsorption of sodium atoms on surface tungsten oxidized at oxygen pressure 1 Torr a temperature 950 K. The photoemission spectra from valence band W 4f, O 2s, Na 2p core states were studied under synchrotron excitation photon energy range 80-600 eV. It is found that oxide film form...

A simple, rapid, and specific method for Hg(II) detection has been proposed based on the fluorescence change of N-acetyl-L-cysteine-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs). The presence of Hg(II) ions could quench the fluorescence of QDs at 565 nm and meanwhile produce new peak in 700-860 nm wavelength range. The linear response range is 20-430 nM with the detection limit at 8.0 nM Hg(II). It was found ...

L-edge soft X-ray spectroscopy has been proven to be a powerful tool to unravel the peculiarities of electronic structure of transition metal compounds in solution. However, the X-ray absorption spectrum is often probed in the total or partial fluorescence yield modes, what leads to inherent distortions with respect to the true transmission spectrum. In the present work, we combine photon- and ...

In the range of 83 500-89 200 cm ‘, the photoionization spectrum of HI is strongly influenced by autoionization of Rydberg series converging to the higher lying 2B,,2 component of the spin-orbit split ‘H ionic ground state. The photoelectron yield spectrum, exhibiting the various autoionization processes, has been measured on a rotationally cooled sample ( T,,, 13 K), with a spectral resolution...

The 351 nm photoelectron spectra of OH~N2O!n , n51 – 5, are reported. Each spectrum is composed of a single broad feature that shifts toward higher electron binding energy as the number of solvent molecules increases. Analysis of OH~N2O! spectra at ion temperatures of 200 and 300 K shows that there is significant intensity in the 00 0 transition, and that transitions to the dissociative region ...

The dynamics of electron solvation following excitation of the charge-transfer-to-solvent precursor state in iodide-doped methanol clusters, I(-)(CH(3)OH)(n = 4-11), are studied with time-resolved photoelectron imaging. This excitation produces a I···(CH(3)OH)(n)(-) cluster that is unstable with respect to electron autodetachment and whose autodetachment lifetime increases monotonically from ~8...

Using photoelectron spectroscopy, we interrogate the cyclic furanide anion (C(4)H(3)O(-)) to determine the electron affinity and vibrational structure of the neutral furanyl radical and the term energy of its first excited electronic state. We present the 364-nm photoelectron spectrum of the furanide anion and measure the electron affinity of the X̃(2)A(') ground state of the α-furanyl radical t...

Photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations have been carried out to probe the structures and chemical bonding of the B27 (-) cluster. Comparison between the experimental spectrum and the theoretical results reveals a two-dimensional (2D) global minimum with a triangular lattice containing a tetragonal defect (I) and two low-lying 2D isomers (II and III), each with a hexagonal vacancy...
