Solvation of ions in helium

T González-Lezana, O Echt, M Gatchell… - … Reviews in Physical …, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
We review the solvation of atomic, molecular or cluster ions in HNDs. After briefly discussing
the properties of snowballs in bulk helium we consider experimental conditions for the …

Splashing of large helium nanodroplets upon surface collisions

P Martini, S Albertini, F Laimer, M Meyer, M Gatchell… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
In the present work we observe that helium nanodroplets colliding with surfaces can exhibit
splashing in a way that is analogous to classical liquids. We use transmission electron …

An intense source for cold cluster ions of a specific composition

L Tiefenthaler, J Ameixa, P Martini, S Albertini… - Review of Scientific …, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
The demand for nanoscale materials of ultra-high purity and narrow size distribution is
addressed. Clusters of Au, C 60, H 2 O, and serine are produced inside helium nanodroplets …

Chemistry and physics of dopants embedded in helium droplets

S Albertini, E Gruber, F Zappa… - Mass Spectrometry …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Helium droplets represent a cold inert matrix, free of walls with outstanding properties to
grow complexes and clusters at conditions that are perfect to simulate cold and dense …

Infrared spectroscopy of cold trapped molecular ions using He‐tagging

D Gerlich - Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
This review summarizes experimental activities to study the structure of molecular ions via
He tagging. The method is based on the attachment of a weakly bound helium atom to a …
