Laser Spectroscopic Study of Cold Host–Guest Complexes of Crown Ethers in the Gas Phase

Oleg Boyarkine, Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

A laser spectroscopic study on the structure and dynamics of cold host–guest inclusion complexes of crown ethers (CEs) with various neutral and ionic species in the gas phase is presented. The complexes with neutral guest species are formed by using supers ...

Ultraviolet transient absorption, transient grating and photon echo studies of aqueous tryptophan

Majed Chergui, Olivier Christian Bräm, Andrea Cannizzo, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei, Cristina Consani

We compare UV transient grating (TG) experiments of aqueous tryptophan with transient absorption (TA) and fluorescence up-conversion measurements. The TG and TA signals show a bi-exponential rise with sub-ps and ps time constants, which are consistent with ...

Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Barium-doped Helium Nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Evgeniy Loginov

Excitation spectra up to the ionization threshold are reported for barium atoms located on the surface of helium nanodroplets. For states with low principal quantum number, the resonances are substantially broadened and shifted towards higher energy with r ...

A Combination of Cold Ion Spectroscopy and Ion Mobility for the Study of Complex Peptides and Small Proteins

Georgios Papadopoulos

We present in this work experiments that push the limits of cold ion spectroscopy to the study of complex peptides and small proteins in the gas phase. Although the low temperature attainable in a cold ion trap greatly simplifies the electronic spectra of ...

Barium Ions and Helium Nanodroplets: Solvation and Desolvation

Marcel Drabbels, Xiaohang Zhang

The solvation of Ba+ ions created by the photoionization of barium atoms located on the surface of helium nanodroplets has been investigated. The excitation spectra corresponding to the 6p 2P1/2

Spectroscopy of 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) attached to rare gas samples: Clusters vs. bulk matrices. I. Absorption spectroscopy

Wolfgang Harbich, Alexandre Rydlo, Matthieu Dvorak, Stefan Minniberger

The interaction between 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and rare gas or para-hydrogen samples is studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The comparison between spectra of PTCDA embedded in a neon matr ...

Design, Fabrication and Characterization of Mid-Infrared Strip Waveguide for Laser Spectroscopy in Liquid Environments

Yu-Chi Chang

Optical sensors based on the interaction between molecular vibrations and mid infrared radiations attracted high attentions in the last decades. In this study, we present the development of a waveguide evanescent field sensor based on the absorption spectr ...

Cold Ion Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules in the Gas Phase

Natalia Nagornova

The three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins and peptides in vivo largely determine their biological functions. In vitro these native structures and their heterogeneity reflect a subtle balance between noncovalent intramolecular interactions and those ...
