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

The complex potential energy surface for the unimolecular isomerization and dissociation of
nitromethane (CH3NO2), including 10 CH3NO2 isomers, 46 interconversion transition …

Nitromethane (NM), a high explosive (HE) with low sensitivity, is known to undergo
photolysis upon ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The optical transparency, homogeneity, and …

Photodissociation of nitromethane has been investigated for decades both theoretically and
experimentally; however, as a whole picture, the dissociation dynamics for nitromethane are …

A one-color laser performs photolysis of nitrocompounds and laser-induced fluorescence to
monitor the generated NO photofragments and to sensitively detect vapor trace amounts of …

The relative photoionization/dissociation probabilities are presented for the molecules
benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene upon interaction with 780 nm laser radiation of …

Combined one-color laser-photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence methods have been
applied to photodissociate nitrobenzene (NB) molecules and to detect the resulting nitric …

Laser photolysis that releases characteristic photofragments, combined with laser-induced
fluorescence (LIF) that subsequently monitors them, facilitate detection of trace-vapor …

Laser-induced ionization and dissociation of aromatic and single-bonded hydrocarbons,
benzene, toluene, cyclopropane, cyclohexane and n-hexane, have been investigated at …
