Photoelectron spectroscopy has long been a powerful method in the toolbox of experimental
physical chemistry and molecular physics. Recent improvements in coincidence methods …

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) had its beginnings in the 1940s and 1950s, mainly through
mass spectrometric detection of pyrolytically formed free radicals. In the 1960s many organic …

Methods for the production of cold atomic and molecular samples relying on the
deceleration of pulsed supersonic beams are described and a review of the corresponding …

We present a microwave discharge flow tube coupled with a double imaging electron/ion
coincidence device and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation. The system has …

Hydrogen and deuterium atoms in supersonic jet expansions have been decelerated using
a multistage Zeeman decelerator. The properties of the decelerator have been completely …

The large electric dipole moments associated with highly excited Rydberg states of atoms
and molecules make gas-phase samples in these states very well suited to deceleration and …

The traditional “ball‐and‐stick” concept of molecular structure fails when the motion of the
electrons is coupled to that of the nuclei. Such a situation arises in the Jahn–Teller (JT) effect …

Molecules in high Rydberg states, in which one electron has been excited into a hydrogenic
orbital of large mean radius, have many unusual properties compared to ground state …

A pyrolysis source coupled to a supersonic expansion has been used to produce the CH3
radical from two precursors, iodomethane CH3I and nitromethane CH3NO2. The relative …

Hydrogen atoms in a cold supersonic expansion with an average velocity of 700 ms− 1 have
been excited to Rydberg Stark states with principal quantum number in the range n= 20–25 …
