Influence of laser pulse width on absolute EUV-yield from Xe-clusters

Using 50 fs ( ∼ 2×10¹⁸ W/cm²) and 2 ps ( ∼ 5×10¹⁶ W/cm²) pulses from a Ti:Sa multi-TW laser at 800 nm wavelength large Xe-clusters ( 10⁵...10⁶ atoms per cluster) have been excited. Absolute yield measurements of EUV-emission in a wavelength range between 10 nm and 15 nm in combination with cluster target variation were carried out. The ps-laser pulse has resulted in about 30% enhanced and spatially more uniform EUV-emission compared to fs-laser excitation. Circularly polarized laser light instead of linear polarization results in enhanced emission which is probably caused by electrons gaining higher energies by the polarization dependent optical field ionization process. An absolute emission efficiency at 13.4 nm of up to 0.8% in 2π sr and 2.2% bandwidth has been obtained. Received 11 January 2001 and Received in final form 27 March 2001     

Molecular fusion of fullerenes

New experimental data is reported for the absolute cross sections for the fusion reaction channel in single gas-phase collisions between fullerenes. The experimental data is compared with the results of quantum mechanical and classical molecular dynamics simulations as well as with simple models. Quantum molecular dynamics simulations are in very good quantitative agreement with the experimental data. The overall dynamical behaviour can be well-described qualitatively in the framework of simple models. Received 2 October 2000     

Trianionic gold clusters

Using Penning-trap experiments and a shell-correction method incorporating ellipsoidal shape deformations, we investigate the formation and stability patterns of trianionic gold clusters. Theory and experiment are in remarkable agreement concerning appearance sizes and electronic shell effects. In contrast to multiply cationic clusters, decay of the trianionic gold clusters occurs primarily via electron autodetachment and tunneling through a Coulomb barrier, rather than via fission.

用密度泛函方法研究质子化苯基丙酮-水团簇

The structure and growth trend of the protonated acetophenone-water clusters have been investigated using the DFT-B3LYP method combined with the standard 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. In order to obtain more accurate single-point energy the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) method was adapted. The results show that the formation of H+C8H8O-H2O is a barrierless reaction process and the equilibrium distance between the proton and the O atom in C8H8O molecule is 1.015 A. For H+C8H8O-(H2O)n(n=1,2,3) clusters, the proton lies between the acetophenone molecule C8H8O and the water molecule H2O. The distance between the proton and the O atom of the C8H8O molecule increased from n=1 to n=3; C8H8O-H+-H2O can be regarded as an solvation shell. For H+C8H8O (H2O)n (n=4,5,6,7,8) clusters, the proton lies between the two H2O molecules forming a H5O2+ structure, C8H8O-H5O2+ is an important structure, which the other H2O molecules will attack from different sides.     

N-甲替甲酰胺-水的氢键团簇的从头计算研究

The N-methylformamide（NMF）-water clusters were studied by ab inito calculations at MP2/6-31+G** and MP2 / 6-311 ++ G（d,p）levels. The equilibrium geometries and the dissociation channels and dissociation energies of both neutral and ionic NMF-H2O clusters are presented. For N-methylformamide,cis-form has lower energy than trans-form. In NMFH+,the proton prefers to link with the O atom of N-methylformamide. The results show that both cis- and trans- form of NMF can form a linear hydrogen bond with water. Although the energy of trans-NMF is higher than cis-NMF,trans-form exits more stably because it can form a double hydrogen bond with water. After the ionization of the NMF-H2O cluster,both the cis- and the trans-form will produce protonated products.

Fragmentation of Magic-Size Cluster Precursor Compounds into Ultrasmall CdS Quantum Dots with Enhanced Particle Yield at Low Temperatures

Colloidal small-size CdS quantum dots (QDs) are produced usually with low particle yield, together with side products such as the particular precursor compounds (PCs) of magic-size clusters (MSC). Here, we report our synthesis of small-size CdS QDs without the coexistence of the PC and thus with enhanced particle yield. For a conventional reaction of cadmium oleate (Cd(OA)₂) and sulfur (S) in 1-octadecene (ODE), we show that after the formation of the PC in the pre-nucleation stage, the addition of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) facilitates the production of small-size QDs. We demonstrate that TOPO fragmentizes the PC that have formed, which enables the nucleation and growth of small-size QDs even at room temperature. Our findings introduce a new approach to making small-size QDs without the coexistence of the PC and with improved particle yield. Providing experimental evidence for the two-pathway model proposed for the pre-nucleation stage of colloidal binary QDs, the present study aids in the advance of non-classical nucleation theory.
