Laser ablation in liquid-phase (LAL) has been developed since the 1990s, but the interest in
laser synthesis of colloids has emerged in the last decade due to a significant improvement …

This review article provides a concise overview of electron involvement in DNA radiation
damage. The review begins with the various states of radiation-produced electrons …

Recently there has been a revival of interest in the basic structure of the aqueous or
“hydrated” electron, e−(aq). According to the conventional picture, this species occupies a …

The electronic energy and dynamics of solvated electrons, the simplest yet elusive chemical
species, is of interest in chemistry, physics, and biology. Here, we present the electron …

The structure of the hydrated electron is a matter of debate as it evades direct experimental
observation owing to the short life time and low concentrations of the species. Herein, the …

An energy input is often required to promote chemical reactions. Although heat is commonly
applied to overcome activation barriers in such processes, other forms of energy can also be …

According to the conventional picture, the aqueous or “hydrated” electron, e–(aq), occupies
an excluded volume (cavity) in the structure of liquid water. However, simulations with …

Chemical reaction dynamics in liquids and at interfaces are central themes in the materials,
energy, and environmental sciences. Ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids enables …

We have investigated the solvation dynamics and the genuine binding energy and
photoemission anisotropy of the solvated electron in neutral water clusters with a …

Hydrated electrons are important in radiation chemistry and charge-transfer reactions, with
applications that include chemical damage of DNA, catalysis, and signaling. Conventionally …
