What is Mass Spectrometry? • Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in analytical chemistry that provides – detailed structural information for a – wide variety of compounds (MW: 1-106 daltons) by using – a small amount of sample (μg-ng, picomol, femtomol) – easily coupled with separation techniques (GC, HPLC) Ideal for analysis of complex mixtures 3 8/13/2015 What can we provide by mass spec? • MW determination – nominal – accurate (elemental composition) • isotope pattern • high resolution • Fragmentation – fragmentation rules – libraries (“fitting”) – MS/MS (or MSn) • Thermodynamic parameters – ionization energy (IE) – appearance energy (AE) – heats of formation (∆Hf) – activation enthalpy (∆H#), activation entropy (∆S#).

Tailored design of efficient photoresists is enabled by a fundamental understanding of EUV induced chemistry. Processes that occur in the resist film after absorption of an EUV photon are discussed and a novel approach to study these processes on a fundamental level is described. The processes of photoabsorption, electron emission, and molecular fragmentation were studied experimentally in the gas‐phase on analogues of the monomer units employed in chemically amplified EUV resists. To demonstrate the dependence of the EUV absorption cross‐section on selective light harvesting substituents, halogenated methylpenols were characterized employing the following techniques.

In one field in particular, it allows mass spectroscopy of gas analysis and processing plasmas to be performed using pressures of this ash. Furthermore, collision processes in the ionisation source of the QMS, (including Penning ionisation), which are insignificant at the more usual order in the quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS). These pressures are much closer to those of many processing plasmas so that the sampling of source pressures of below 1x10-5 Torr, generate product ion species whose study helps the interpretation of the processes occurring in the plasma neuIntroductiontral species, in particular, from the plasma is improved. The sampling of ion and neutral species from magnetron plasmas is a good example. The reactor.

A quadrupole mass spectrometer was used, with an internal ionising electron source resulting in an energy resolution of ~ 0.8 eV. The partial ionisation cross sections (PICS) for a number of individual cations have been measured for energies between 10 - 100 eV. The present data compares well with previous results for methanol. Surprisingly, however, this study is the first to report individual PICS for ethanol. The sum of the present PICS for both methanol and ethanol is also compared to the total ionisation cross sections reported in the literature and are found to be in good accord. Additionally, appearance energies have been derived by fitting the Wannier equation to data measured within ~ 2 eV of the cation formation threshold. However, the low energy resolution limits the precision with which these values are able to be determined.

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-020-0297-3 OPEN Control of electron recollision and molecular nonsequential double ionization ✉ Shuai Li1, Diego Sierra-Costa1, Matthew J. Michie 1, Itzik Ben-Itzhak2 & Marcos Dantus 1,3 1234567890():,; Intense laser pulses lasting a few optical cycles, are able to ionize molecules via different mechanisms. One such mechanism involves a process whereby within one optical period an electron tunnels away from the molecule, and is then accelerated and driven back as the laser field reverses its direction, colliding with the parent molecule and causing correlated non- sequential double ionization (NSDI). Here we report control over NSDI via spectral-phase pulse shaping of femtosecond laser pulses. The measurements are carried out on ethane molecules using shaped pulses. We find that the shaped pulses can enhance or suppress the yield of dications resulting from electron recollision by factors of 3 to 6. This type of shaped pulses is likely to impact all phenomena stemming from electron recollision processes induced by strong laser fields such as above threshold ionization, high harmonic generation, attosecond pulse generation, and laser-induced electron diffraction. 1 Department of Chemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA. 2 J.

The photoion- + - photoelectron coincidence (PIPECO) technique has been used. The C 2H /e coincidence rate curve has been + recorded between 16.2 and 21.2 eV. The lowest appearance energy determined for C 2H is 17.35 ± 0.04 eV. A second appearance energy is measured at 18.40 ± 0.04 eV. At both energies ethynyl ions are produced through a + 2 + 2 + predissociation mechanism at the expense of the C 2H2 (A Ag) state at 17.35 eV and C 2H2 (B ∑u ) at 18.40 eV. These results are in good agreement with the most recent TPIPECO experiments and dissociative electroionization results. This comparison leads to the exclusion of any contribution of autoionization + + phenomena to the C 2H ion production between 16.2 and 21.2 eV. Investigations of C 2H through the ion pair - - formation channel (and the dissociative electron attachment producing C 2H and H ) in C 2H2 are reported and its + contribution to C 2H ion production below 17.3 eV must be discarded.

    Coincident Angle-Resolved State-Selective Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Acetylene Molecules: a Candidate System for Time-Resolved Dynamics

Krishnan j∗ The acetylene-vinylidene system serves as a benchmark for investigations of ultrafast dynamical processes where the coupling of the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom provides a fertile playground to explore the femto- and sub-femto-second physics with coherent extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon sources both on the table-top as well as free-electron lasers. We focus on detailed investigations of this molecular system in the photon energy range 19:::40 eV where EUV pulses can probe the dynamics effectively. We employ photoelectron-photoion coincidence (PEPICO) spec- troscopy to uncover hitherto unrevealed aspects of this system. In this work, the role of excited + states of the C2H2 cation, the primary photoion, is specifically addressed. From photoelectron energy spectra and angular distributions, the nature of the dissociation and isomerization channels is discerned. Exploiting the 4p-collection geometry of velocity map imaging spectrometer, we not only probe pathways where the efficiency of photoionization is inherently high but also perform PEPICO spectroscopy on relatively weak channels. 1 Introduction physics, but also due to its importance in biological systems; this One of the outstanding problems of interest in time-resolved spec- plays a key role in processes underlying human vision 10, photo- troscopy and quantum dynamics of molecular systems is phenom- synthesis 11, proton tunneling in DNA 12 and radiation damage 13, ena involving the interplay between nuclear motion and electron to name a few.
