- Photoelectron spectra of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) dissolved in water have been recorded using a novel experimental set-up, which enables photoelectron spectroscopy of volatile liquids. The set-up is described in detail. Ionization energies are reported for I− 5p, I− 4d, C 1s and N 1s. The C 1s spectrum shows evidence of inelastic scattering of the photoelectrons, that differs from the case of TBAI in formamide.

- Core-level photoelectron spectra of free neutral methane clusters have been recorded. These spectra exhibit well-resolved surface and bulk features as well as vibrational fine structure. The vibrational structure in the cluster signal is well reproduced by a theoretical model that assumes independent contributions from inter- and intramolecular modes. The intramolecular contribution to the vibrational line-shape is taken to be equal to that of the monomer in the gas phase, while the intermolecular part is simplified to line broadening. An estimate of the cluster size has been made on the basis of the observed surface-to-bulk intensity ratio.

Free Neutral Clusters and Liquids Studied by Electron Spectroscopy and Lineshape Modeling
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The electronic and geometrical structure of free neutral clusters and liquids have been studied using synchrotron-radiation based photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy in combination with lineshape modeling. A novel experimental setup has been developed for studies of liquids, based on the liquid microjet technique. Theoretical lineshapes have been computed using both classical (molecular dynamics) and quantum mechanical (mainly density functional theory) methods.Clusters are finite ensembles of atoms or molecules, ranging in size from a few to several thousand atoms. Apart from being fundamentally interesting, clusters are also promising as building blocks for nano-technology. In this thesis results are presented for rare-gas and molecular clusters, ranging from weakly van-deer-Waals bonded to hydrogen bonded. It is shown that the combination of core-level photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and lineshape modeling can be used to estimate the sizes of clusters. A model for treating the effect of inter-molecular nuclear relaxation upon ionization is proposed. The structure of single-component molecular clusters are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations, validated against XPS data. Finally, the radial structure of a two-component molecular cluster is investigated by XPS.Liquids have been studied for centuries, but still many questions remain regarding the microscopic properties. With the recent development of the liquid microjet technique, new insight into the atomic structure can be obtained. In this thesis we study aqueous solutions using photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). We investigate the structure of surface active molecules by XPS, study the Auger decay after core-level ionization in aqueous potassium chloride (KCl), and follow the changes in molecular structure of glycine as a function of pH.

Two size regimes of methanol clusters produced by adiabatic expansion
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Free neutral methanol clusters produced by adiabatic expansion have been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and line shape modeling. The results show that clusters belonging to two distinct size regimes can be produced by changing the expansion conditions. While the larger size regime can be well described by line shapes calculated for clusters consisting of hundreds of molecules, the smaller size regime corresponds to methanol oligomers, predominantly of cyclic structure. There is little contribution from dimers to the spectra.

- In this review we describe the development and current status of free clusters studied using core-level spectroscopies. This topic ranges from simple model systems, such as rare gas clusters, to molecular clusters, and clusters of solids, held together by ionic, covalent and metallic bonding.

3p valence photoelectron spectrum of Ar clusters
- 2009

Ingår i: Physical Review B. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 79:15, s. 155448-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The shape of the outer valence (3p) photoelectron spectrum of Ar clusters is investigated by vacuum ultraviolet photoionization with synchrotron radiation. We show the dependence of the spectrum on cluster size and the change in its shape with photon energy. Inelastic losses due to intracluster photoelectron scattering are most important for changes in the photoelectron main line and explain the appearance of additional peaks. A comparison of our results to earlier work on bulk condensed Ar and Ar thin films is given. Evidence for a deviation of the photoionization cross sections for clusters from the atomic ones has not been found.
