This article describes our recent experimental studies on internal conversion via a conical intersection using photoelectron spectroscopy. Ultrafast S2(ππ*)-S1(nπ*) internal conversion in pyrazine is observed in real time using sub-20 fs deep ultraviolet pulses (264 and 198 nm). While the photoelectron kinetic energy distribution does not exhibit a clear signature of internal conversion, the ph...

The authors studied the photoemission from molybdenum nanotip arrays with controlled apex curvatures by photoelectron microscopy and spectroscopy excited by 10 ps visible laser pulses under dc electric field. While two-photon photoemission microscopy demonstrates the enhancement of photoabsorption at the sharp tip apex, spatially resolved analysis of the photoelectron energy revealed anomalous ...

We report experiments on the characterization of a train of attosecond pulses obtained by high-harmonic generation, using mixed-color (XUV+IR) atomic two-photon ionization and electron detection on a velocity map imaging detector. We demonstrate that the relative phase of the harmonics is encoded both in the photoelectron yield and the angular distribution as a function of XUV-IR time delay, th...

The density of oxygen vacancies characterization in high-k/metal gate is significant for semiconductor device fabrication. In this work, a new approach was demonstrated to detect the density of oxygen vacancies by in situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) measurement. Moreover, the band alignment of the structure with optical band gap measur...

The development of femtosecond time-resolved methods for the study of gas-phase molecular dynamics is founded upon the seminal studies of Zewail and co-workers, as recognized in 1999 by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.1 This methodology has been applied to chemical reactions ranging in complexity from bond-breaking in diatomic molecules to dynamics in larger organic and biological molecules, and h...

to the linear P and S electronically excited states of neutral B3N, with all three states having a B–N–B–B structure. Weak signal observed at lower electron binding energies is tentatively assigned to two additional linear-to-linear transitions from the low-lying electronically excited P state of B3N 2 to the S and P states of neutral B3N. Based on these assignments the electron affinity of lin...

We report a systematic study of the photoelectron spectroscopy of hydrated electrons in liquid water jets using multiple precursors and photodetachment wavelengths. Hydrated electrons were generated in and detached from liquid microjets using two photons from a single nanosecond laser pulse at 266 or 213 nm. Solutions of 50 to 250 mM potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) or potassium iodide were used ...
