The early Earth, devoid of the protective stratospheric ozone layer, must have sustained an
ambient prebiotic physicochemical medium intensified by the co-existence of shortwave UV …

Taking an image of their structure and a movie of their dynamics of small quantum systems
have always been a dream of physicists and chemists. Laser-induced Coulomb explosion …

Intermolecular interactions involving aromatic rings are ubiquitous in biochemistry and they
govern the properties of many organic materials. Nevertheless, our understanding of the …

How the neighbor effect plays its role in the fragmentation of molecular clusters attracts great
attention for physicists and chemists. Here, we study this effect in the fragmentation of N 2 O …

Real-time imaging of transient structure of the electronic excited state is fundamentally
critical to understand and control ultrafast molecular dynamics. The ejection of electrons …

Intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a process whereby photoexcited molecules relax
by ionizing their neighbouring molecules. ICD is efficient when intermolecular interactions …

Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in nature and of fundamental importance to the chemical
and physical properties of molecular systems in the condensed phase. Nevertheless, our …

We report experimental studies of electron-impact ionization of nitrogen (N 2) and oxygen (O
2) molecules using a cold target recoil ion momentum spectrometer (COLTRIMS, reaction …

Anion resonances are formed as metastable intermediates in low-energy electron-induced
reactions. Due to the finite lifetimes of resonances, applying standard Hermitian formalism …

Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is a significant fragmentation mechanism observed in
weakly bound systems. It has been widely accepted that ICD-induced molecular …
