Collision energy effects in tanden mass spectrometry as revealed by a proton-bound dimer ion

Mass spectra resulting from collision-induced decomposition of the proton-bound dimer of iso-propylamine and sec-butylamine have been obtained as a function of laboratory collision energy over the range 10-6000 eV. The ratio of the two principal fragment ions from the dimer ion measured as a function of collision energy is compared with the ratio expected as a function of internal energy as calcualted based on the statistical theory of mass spectra. This comparison indicates that the average energy deposited into the dimer ion upon collision reaches a maximum at a collision energy of ～70 eV. The average internal energy of the ions at this collision energy is ～4.3 eV. Other fragment ions which arise from higher energy decompositions are also observed in the spectra at much lower intensities. The relative intensities of these fragments indicate that the probability for large energy transfers are highest at ke V collision energies. These observations are interpreted on the basis of differences in the postcollision internal energy distributions resulting from keV and eV collisions.     

Ion optics of the LAMAS-10 laser time-of-flight mass spectrometer

In laser time-of-flight mass spectrometers, satisfactory resolution by weight is achieved for a fixed initial kinetic energy acquired by the ions in the plasma. The integration of mass spectra in a wide energy range intended for obtaining satisfactory results of analysis leads to a 3–5-fold reduction of the resolving capacity. In the case of the LAMAS-10 device, the resolution for W = 50–300 eV energy dispersion of the ions varies from R ∼ 1000 (for W = 300 eV) to R ∼ 150 (for W = 50 eV), such values being insufficient for quantitative elemental analysis. It has been demonstrated that the main reason for the differences in the resolution values for LAMAS-10 are time aberrations by energies in the laser plasma drift space. The modification of the ion optics theory for LAMAS-10 allows the determination of the principles of the influence of the initial ion energies generated in the laser plasma on the resolution. The dependence of the conditions of the time focusing of ions by energies has been determined in a wide range of the initial values. This dependence provides software-controlled readjustment of the time focusing before the registration of the mass spectra for each initial ion energy. When time focusing of the ions was performed in a wide range of the initial energies, the resolution increased to R = 1300 at W = 50 eV, such parameters providing the quantitative analysis of solid bodies and powders.     

Application of ESCA to polymer chemistry. XVI. Electron mean free paths as a function of kinetic energy in polymeric films determined by means of ESCA

Electron mean free paths as a function of kinetic energy have been measured by the substrate overlayer technique for in situ-polymerized films of poly(p-xylylene) and the monochloro- and monobromo-substituted derivatives. The results are compared with previous estimates of mean free paths available in the literature for organic materials. Comparison is also drawn with corresponding experimental data for typical metals and semiconductors, and it is shown that organic polymers fit into a consistent picture which may be rationalized on the basis of existing theory. For electrons of kinetic energy ～969 eV, ～1170 eV, 1202 eV, and 1403 eV, mean free paths of ～14 Å, ～22 Å, ～23 Å, and ～29 Å, respectively, are obtained for the poly(p-xylylene) polymer films studied in this work.     

High resolution photoemission study of condensed layers of nitrogen and carbon monoxide

High resolution (0.09 eV) UPS spectra have been obtained of condensed films of N₂ and CO. All spectral features are broadened by ? 0.6 eV upon condensation. The origin of this broadening is discussed. The difference in linewidths for all equivalent levels, Δε_CON2 ～ 0.1 to 0.2 eV can be understood in terms of a hole-dipole multiphonon excitation mechanism. Photoemission from what is believed o be the a³Π excited neutral state of CO has been detected in the solid phase for the first time.     

Novel floating‐type low‐energy ion gun for high‐resolution depth profiling in ultrahigh vacuum

A floating‐type low‐energy ion gun (FLIG) has been developed for high‐resolution depth profiling in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). This UHV‐FLIG allows Ar⁺ ions of primary energy down to 50 eV to be provided with high current intensity. The developed UHV‐FLIG was sufficiently compact, being ～30 cm long, to be attached to a commercial surface analytical instrument. The performance of the UHV‐FLIG was measured by attaching it to a scanning Auger electron microprobe (JAMP‐10, Jeol), the base pressure of which in the analysis chamber was ～1 × 10^?7 Pa. The vacuum condition of ～5 × 10^?6 Pa was maintained during operation of the UHV‐FLIG without a differential pumping facility. Current density ranged from 41 to 138 µA cm^?2 for Ar⁺ ions of primary energy 100–500 eV at the working distance of 50 mm. This ensures a sputtering rate of ～10 nm h^?1 with 100 eV Ar⁺ ions for Si, leading to depth profiling of high resolution in practical use. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The outer valance orbital electron densities of cyclopentane by binary (e,2e) spectroscopy

The binding energy spectra and electron distributions in momentum space of the valence orbitals of cyclopentane (C(5)H(10)) are studied by Electron Momentum Spectroscopy (EMS) in a noncoplanar symmetric geometry. The impact energy was 1200 eV plus binding energy and energy resolution of the EMS spectrometer was 1.2 eV. The experimental momentum profiles of the outer valence orbitals are compared with the theoretical momentum distributions calculated using Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The shapes of the experimental momentum distributions are generally quite well described by both the Hartree-Fock and DFT calculations when the large and diffuse basis sets are used.     

Ionic bonding in free nanoscale NaCl clusters as seen by photoelectron spectroscopy

The free neutral nanoscale NaCl clusters have been produced in a beam and studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High resolution spectra simultaneously containing cluster and molecular-monomer, featuring in both the valence and core-level Na 2p and Cl 2p regions, have been obtained. Cluster-level energy shifts of around 3 eV toward lower binding energy for Na 2p and ≈1 eV toward higher binding energy for Cl 2p relative to the monomer levels have been unambiguously established. To rationalize the core-level energy shifts of the nanoscale NaCl clusters, the ionic model taking into account all charge-charge and polarization interactions has been developed and implemented. A satisfactory agreement between the experimental and model results has been obtained. The model calculations have also shed additional light on the size- and site-specific cluster responses.     

Limonene: electronic state spectroscopy by high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption, electron scattering, He(I) photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations

Electronic state spectroscopy of limonene has been investigated using vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption spectroscopy in the energy range 5.0-10.8 eV. The availability of a high resolution photon beam (~0.075 nm) enabled detailed analysis of the vibrational progressions and allowed us to propose, for the first time, new assignments for several Rydberg series. Excited states located in the 7.5-8.4 eV region have been studied for the first time. A He(I) photoelectron spectrum has also been recorded from 8.2 to 9.5 eV and compared to previous low resolution works. A new value of 8.521 ± 0.002 eV for the ground ionic state adiabatic ionisation energy is proposed. Absolute photoabsorption cross sections were derived in the 10-26 eV range from electron scattering data. All spectra presented in this paper represent the highest resolution data yet reported for limonene. These experiments are complemented by new ab initio calculations performed for the three most abundant conformational isomers of limonene, which we then used in the assignment of the spectral bands.     

Vertical detachment energies of anionic thymidine: Microhydration effects

Density functional theory has been employed to investigate microhydration effects on the vertical detachment energy (VDE) of the thymidine anion by considering the various structures of its monohydrates. Structures were located using a random searching procedure. Among 14 distinct structures of the anionic thymidine monohydrate, the low-energy structures, in general, have the water molecule bound to the thymine base unit. The negative charge developed on the thymine moiety increases the strength of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the water and base units. The computed VDE values of the thymidine monohydrate anions are predicted to range from 0.67 to 1.60 eV and the lowest-energy structure has a VDE of 1.32 eV. The VDEs of the monohydrates of the thymidine anion, where the N(1)[Single Bond]H hydrogen of thymine has been replaced by a 2(')-deoxyribose ring, are greater by ～0.30?eV, compared to those of the monohydrates of the thymine anion. The results of the present study are in excellent agreement with the accompanying experimental results of Bowen and co-workers [J. Chem. Phys. 133, 144304 (2010)].     

Investigation of the electronic spectra and excited-state geometries of poly(para-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and poly(para-phenylene) (PP) by the symmetry-adapted cluster configuration interaction (SAC-CI) method

The symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration interaction (SAC-CI) method has been used to investigate the optical and geometric properties of the oligomers of poly(para-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and poly(para-phenylene) (PP). Vertical singlet and triplet absorption spectra and emission spectra have been calculated accurately; the mean average deviation from available experimental results lies within 0.2 eV. The chain length dependence of the transition energies has been improved in comparison to earlier TDDFT and MRSDCI calculations. The present analysis suggests that conventional TDDFT with the B3LYP functional should be used carefully, as it can provide inaccurate estimates of the chain length dependence of the excitation energies of these molecules with long pi conjugation. The T1 state was predicted to be at a lower energy, by 1.0-1.5 eV for PPV and by 0.9-1.7 eV for PP, than the S1 state, which indicates a localized T1 state with large exchange energy. By calculating the SAC-CI electron density difference between the ground and excited states, the geometry relaxations due to excitations can be analyzed in detail using electrostatic force theory. For trans-stilbene, the doubly excited 21Ag state was studied, and the calculated transition energy of 4.99 eV agrees very well with the experimental value of 4.84 eV. In contrast to previous ab initio calculations, we predict this doubly excited 21Ag state to lie above the 11Bu state.     

Application of anomalous oxygen Kα 532 eV peak for the determination of metal oxide thickness

Oxygen Kα spectra emitted from oxides formed on several metals were analysed with a potassium acid phthalate (KAP) crystal, which showed a strong anomalous peak due to the reflectivity spike of KAP at the particular energy region ～532 eV. The relative intensity of the 532 eV peak to the main peak decreased rapidly with the increase of the oxide thickness, while absolute intensities of both peaks increased. The relative intensity also changed depending upon an incident energy of electrons (E₀) to excite X-rays: for thick oxide it decreased relative to E₀, and for thin oxide it had a minimum value at E₀ ～5 ke V. These experimental features were well explained theoretically by taking into account a contribution both of characteristic and continuous X-rays to the 532 eV peak. As an application of this experiment, we propose a convenient, nondestructive determination of the oxide thickness.     

Electronic state spectroscopy of c-C5F8 explored by photoabsorption, electron impact, photoelectron spectroscopies and ab initio calculations

The electronic transitions and resonance-enhanced vibrational excitations of octafluorocyclopentene (c-C5F8) have been investigated using high-resolution photoabsorption spectroscopy in the energy range 6-11 eV. In addition, the high-resolution electron energy loss spectrum (HREELS) was recorded under the electric dipolar excitation conditions (100 eV incident energy, approximately 0 degrees scattering angle) over the 5-14 eV energy loss range. A He(I) photoelectron spectrum (PES) has also been recorded between 11 and 20 eV, allowing us to derive a more precise value of (11.288 +/- 0.002) eV for the ground neutral state adiabatic ionization energy. All spectra presented in this paper represent the first and highest resolution data yet reported for octafluorocyclopentene. Ab initio calculations have been performed for helping in the assignment of the spectral bands for both neutral excited states and ionic states.     

Suppression of metastable interference in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectra in a reflecting time-of-flight mass spectrometer

Metastable interference in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectra is reduced by modulating the accelerating potential (by <～100 V) on alternate laser shots. Both parent and daughter ions are reflected on every second shot but only daughter ions are reflected on the next shot. The parent-ion spectrum is then obtained by subtraction. In order to ensure the necessary well defined energy distributions, signals with similar intensity (preferably small) are selected by transferring each transient to a computer for examination. This procedure decreases the complexity in reflected spectra (especially spectra of mixtures) in the lower mass range and improves the mass resolution in the intermediate mass range around 10 000 u. Continuous background in reflected spectra is also suppressed by the technique.     

He (I) and He (II) photoelectron spectra of ozone

The he I (21.2 eV) and He II (40.8 eV) photoelectron spectra of ozone have been recorded under high resolution. Ionization potentials are identified at 12.75 eV, 13.02 eV, 13.57 eV, and two broad bands are centered at 17.7 eV and 20.1 eV. The experimental results and the orbital assignment are not completely in accord with those given recently in the literature.     

Stopping powers and inelastic mean free path from quantitative analysis of experimental REELS spectra for electrons in Ti,Fe, Ni,and Pd

Stopping power (SP) and inelastic mean free path (IMFP) of electrons in Ti, Fe, Ni, and Pd have been determined by using dielectric models. We have used energy loss function (ELF) determined from quantitative analysis of experimental reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectra as the input parameter for this model. ELF in this study was determined from the previously published quantitative analysis of REELS spectra. The SP of Fe, Ni, Pd, and Ti was compared with several calculation methods for energies from 100 eV to 10 keV and shows SP in this study, which are in best agreement for medium to high energies (greater than or equal to 300 eV). The IMFP obtained in this study shows the best agreement with online database TPP2M and NIST and also calculation by Tanuma with a root mean square (rms ) less than 12%. The present approach shows ELF from quantitative analysis of REELS spectra has a high potential for the experimental determination of SP and IMFP of metals.     

High‐energy monochromated Cu Kα1 x‐ray source for electron spectroscopy of materials: initial results

The construction of an x‐ray source for high‐energy XPS studies, based on Cu Kα₁ radiation (hν = 8047.8 eV), is described. This source has been fitted to a Scienta ESCA300 electron spectrometer and initial results for pure iron, chromium and stainless steel are presented. The Fe 1 s and Cr 1 s core levels (at ～7112 and 5989 eV binding energy, respectively) are readily observed at good resolution along with their KLL Auger series. It is concluded that the new source shows much promise for investigation of the electronic structure of ferrous and other alloys of scientific and technological importance.

ZEKE-PFI spectroscopy of benzocaine

The adiabatic ionization threshold (AIT) of trans- and gauche-benzocaine has been measured by zero electron kinetic energy-pulsed field ionization (ZEKE-PFI) spectroscopy to be 7.8412+/-0.0008 eV (lasers at 34,134.4 and 29,109.3 cm(-1)) and 7.8421+/-0.0004 eV (34,144.8+29105.7 cm(-1)), respectively. AITs computed at the B3LYP/AUG-cc-p-VDZ level for the two conformers are some approximately 2,500 cm(-1) lower than the experimental; in contrast their energy difference is very close. The trans-benzocaine cation ZEKE spectra has been recorded taking a number of S(1) intermediate vibronic states. The spectra provide an energy threshold for the appearance of intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) around approximately 540 cm(-1) in the S(1) state.     

Low energy,variable angle electron-impact excitation of 1,3,5-hexatriene

A mixture of cis and trans 1,3,5-hexatriene has been studied by electron impact at incident electron energies of 20 eV, 40 eV, 50 eV, and 70 eV, at scattering angles from 0° to 80°, and with effective energy resolutions in the range from 0.05 eV to 0.15 eV. Singlet → triplet transitions with maximum intensities at 2.61 eV and 4.11 eV are observed. The lowest energy spin-allowed excitation which can be detected is the electric dipole-allowed $\text{X}$¹ A_g → 1 ¹B_u transition (in the notation appropriate for the trans isomer). No evidence has been found for a spin-allowed but symmetry-forbidden $\text{X}$¹ A_g → 2 ¹A_g excitation in the vicinity of 4.4 eV transition energy. Many other spin-allowed excitations are observed in the 6–11 eV energy-loss region, and the correlation between these features and those observed in high resolution ultraviolet absorption spectra and other electron-impact spectra is discussed.     

Method for the design of broad energy range focusing reflectrons

A novel method for the design of reflections capable of focusing large kinetic energy ranges is presented. The design method itself is a numerical approach that provides a geometrically flexible alternative to traditional analytical design solutions. This design method has been used to produce a reflectron that provides unit mass resolution for product spectra in a tandem reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer despite a kinetic energy range of 1950–2700 eV. In this application, the systematic progression of reflectron design results in a practical, nonlinear field reflectron with the use of only two grids. Design improvements are proposed for more flexible systems, although geometric constraints in the current instrument limit their experimental evaluation.
