ELECTRIFICATION IONIZATION: FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Department of Chemistry by Bijay Kumar Banstola B. Sc., Northwestern State University of Louisiana, 2011 December 2019 This dissertation is dedicated to my parents: Tikaram and Shova Banstola my wife: Laxmi Kandel ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank my advisor Professor Kermit K. Murray, for his continuous support and guidance throughout my Ph.D. program. Without his unwavering guidance and continuous help and encouragement, I could not have completed this program. I am also thankful to my committee members, Professor Isiah M. Warner, Professor Kenneth Lopata, and Professor Shengli Chen. I thank Dr. Fabrizio Donnarumma for his assistance and valuable insights to overcome the hurdles throughout my program. I appreciate Miss Connie David and Dr. Jeonghoon Lee for their support and instructions while working in Mass Spectrometry Facility (MSF). Special thanks to all my colleagues, Kelin Wang, Fan Cao, Chao Dong, Carson W. Szot, Remi Lawal, Achala P. Deenamulla Kankanamalage, Jamira Stephenson and Kelsey Hines for their help, and wonderful moments shared. Finally, I thank my wife and my family for supporting me through every step of my life. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS ........................................................................... x ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................. xii CHAPTER 1.
