▪ Abstract The detection of explosives, energetic materials, and their associated compounds
for security screening, demining, detection of unexploded ordnance, and pollution …

In recent years, explosive materials have been widely employed for various military
applications and civilian conflicts; their use for hostile purposes has increased considerably …

Optical emission of laser-produced plasmas from solids, liquids, and gases, from their
fundamentals to their potential applications, has been comprehensively reported in multiple …

Detection of explosives is important for public safety. A recently developed low-temperature
plasma (LTP) probe for desorption and ionization of samples in the ambient environment …

The application of single photon ionization in combination with mass-selective detection by
time-of-flight mass spectrometry is described for the rapid detection of the nitro-containing …

Resonance Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI) and Resonance Ionization Mass
Spectrometry (RIMS) with their non-resonant equivalents are sensitive laser-based …

The dynamics of NO release upon photodissociation of nitroaromatic compounds is
dependent on the nature of the interaction between the NO2 group and substituent in the …

The possibility that chemical reactions may be controlled by tailored femtosecond laser
pulses has inspired recent studies that take advantage of their short pulse duration …

In the present Letter we report that a number of polyatomic molecules (M) when irradiated
with short pulse lasers< 90 fs at 750− 790 nm and intensities up to 1015 W cm-2 produce …

Photodissociation of nitrobenzene at 193, 248, and 266 nm and o-nitrotoluene at 193 and
248 nm was investigated separately using multimass ion imaging techniques. Fragments …
