Infrared combination bands of the polar isomer of the N2O dimer are observed for the first time, using a tunable infrared laser source to probe a pulsed slit-jet supersonic expansion in the N2O nu1 region (~2240 cm-1). One band involves the…
While linear molecules in their vibrational ground state cannot carry angular momentum around their symmetry axis, the presence of vibrational excitations can induce deformations away from linearity and therefore also allow angular momentum…
We extend studies of micro-solvation of carbon monoxide by a combination of high-resolution IR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Spectra of the (H2O)4-CO and (D2O)4-CO pentamers are observed in the C-O stretch fundamental region…
In this work, we present a theoretical study of the photoionization for atomic hydrogen confined in onion fullerene compared with the bare H atom and the single fullerene case. We obtained the expected confinement resonances for the…
High-intensity extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses from a free-electron laser can be used to create a nanoplasma in clusters. In Ref. [Michiels et al. PCCP, 2020; 22: 7828-7834] we investigated the formation of excited states in an XUV-induced…
In this review, we discuss the use of time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) technology for analyzing the viscous glue (is called aggregate glue droplets) of spider orb webs and examine the results obtained. Element…
ClasSOMfier is a software package to classify atoms into a given number of disconnected groups (or clusters) and detect lattice defects, such as vacancies, interstitials, dislocations, voids and grain boundaries. Each cluster is formed by…
The formation and evolution mechanism of fullerenes in the planetary nebula or in the interstellar medium are still not understood. Here we present the study on the cluster formation and the relative reactivity of fullerene cations (from…
We report on electron removal calculations for 2.81 keV/amu Li$^{3+}$ and O$^{3+}$ ion collisions with neon dimers. The target is described as two independent neon atoms fixed at the dimer's equilibrium bond length, whose electrons are…
We utilize two-photon high-precision microwave spectroscopy of $ng\rightarrow(n+2)g$ transitions to precisely measure the high-angular-momentum $g$-series quantum defect of $^{85}$Rb. Samples of cold Rydberg atoms in the $ng$ state are…
Atom-dimer exchange and dissociation reaction rates are predicted for different combinations of two $^4$He atoms and one of the alkaline species among $^{6}$Li, $^{7}$Li and $^{23}$Na, by using three-body scattering formalism with…
The thermal electron emission rate constant for C$_{60}^-$ has been deduced over a range of 4 eV internal energy from storage ring measurements of the decays of ions reheated with single photons absorption. The thermal radiation from the…
This paper studies the gamma-ray spectra of positron annihilation processes in a series of molecules. The results show that the average valence electron energy of the molecules has a linear correlation with the full width at half maximum…
We propose an optical pumping scheme to prepare trapped $\mathrm{AlH}^+$ molecules in a pure state, the stretched hyperfine state $\lvert F=\frac{7}{2},\, m_F=\frac{7}{2}\rangle$ of the rovibronic ground manifold $\lvert…
The electronic structure calculation for the nanoclusters of (AsSiTeB/SiAsBTe) quaternary semiconductor alloy belonging to the (III-V Group elements) is performed. The two clusters one in the linear form and the other in the bent form have…
In processes when particles such as nanodroplets, clusters, or molecules move through a dilute background gas and undergo capture collisions, it is often important to know how much translational kinetic energy is deposited into the…
Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) and ion-pair dissociation (IPD) processes of Difluoromethane (CH$_2$F$_2$) have been studied in the incident electron energy range 0 to 45 eV. Three different fragment anions (F$^-$, CHF$^-$ and…
The real-time dynamics of photoexcited and photoionized rubidium (Rb) atoms attached to helium (He) nanodroplets is studied by femtosecond pump-probe mass spectrometry. While excited Rb atoms in the perturbed 6p-state (Rb*) desorb off the…
Helium nanodroplets are widely used as a cold, weakly interacting matrix for spectroscopy of embedded species. In this work we excite or ionize doped He droplets using synchrotron radiation and study the effect onto the dopant atoms…
Increasing fluorescence quantum yields of ligand-protected gold nanoclusters has attracted wide research interest. The strategy consisting in using bulky counterions has been found to dramatically enhance the fluorescence. In this…
