Extreme ionization of Xe clusters driven by ultraintense laser fields

We applied theoretical models and molecular dynamics simulations to explore extreme multielectron ionization in Xe(n) clusters (n=2-2171, initial cluster radius R(0)=2.16-31.0 A) driven by ultraintense infrared Gaussian laser fields (peak intensity I(M)=10(15)-10(20) W cm(-2), temporal pulse length tau=10-100 fs, and frequency nu=0.35 fs(-1)). Cluster compound ionization was described by three processes of inner ionization, nanoplasma formation, and outer ionization. Inner ionization gives rise to high ionization levels (with the formation of [Xe(q+)](n) with q=2-36), which are amenable to experimental observation. The cluster size and laser intensity dependence of the inner ionization levels are induced by a superposition of barrier suppression ionization (BSI) and electron impact ionization (EII). The BSI was induced by a composite field involving the laser field and an inner field of the ions and electrons, which manifests ignition enhancement and screening retardation effects. EII was treated using experimental cross sections, with a proper account of sequential impact ionization. At the highest intensities (I(M)=10(18)-10(20) W cm(-2)) inner ionization is dominated by BSI. At lower intensities (I(M)=10(15)-10(16) W cm(-2)), where the nanoplasma is persistent, the EII contribution to the inner ionization yield is substantial. It increases with increasing the cluster size, exerts a marked effect on the increase of the [Xe(q+)](n) ionization level, is most pronounced in the cluster center, and manifests a marked increase with increasing the pulse length (i.e., becoming the dominant ionization channel (56%) for Xe(2171) at tau=100 fs). The EII yield and the ionization level enhancement decrease with increasing the laser intensity. The pulse length dependence of the EII yield at I(M)=10(15)-10(16) W cm(-2) establishes an ultraintense laser pulse length control mechanism of extreme ionization products.     

Configuration interaction calculations of the valence ionization energies of the water dimer

The eight vertical valence ionization energies of the water dimer are calculated by the ΔCI method. Excellent agreement with measurements of the first and second ionization energies is found. Calculations of the remaining six ionization energies is found. Calculations of the remaining six ionization energies are sufficiently accurate to be of value in the identification and assignment of the dimer photoelectron spectrum.     

Electron and nuclear dynamics of molecular clusters in ultraintense laser fields. I. Extreme multielectron ionization

In this paper we present a theoretical and computational study of extreme multielectron ionization (involving the stripping of all the electrons from light, first-row atoms, and the production of heavily charged ions, e.g., Xe(+q) (q< or =36) from heavy atoms) in elemental and molecular clusters of Xe(n),(D(2))(n), and (CD(4))(n) (n=55-1061) in ultraintense (intensity I=10(15)-10(19) W cm(-2)) laser fields. Single atom or molecule multielectron ionization can be adequately described by the semiclassical barrier suppression ionization (BSI) mechanism. Extreme cluster multielectron ionization is distinct from that of a single atomic or molecular species in terms of the mechanisms, the ionization level and the time scales for electron dynamics and for nuclear motion. The novel compound mechanism of cluster multielectron ionization, which applies when the cluster size (radius R(0)) considerably exceeds the barrier distance for the BSI of a single constituent, involves a sequential-parallel, inner-outer ionization. The cluster inner ionization driven by the BSI for the constituents is induced by a composite field consisting of the laser field and inner fields. The energetics and dynamics of the system consisting of high energy (< or =3 keV) electrons and of less, similar 100 keV ions in the laser field was treated by molecular dynamics simulations, which incorporate electron-electron, electron-ion, ion-ion, and charge-laser interactions. High-energy electron dynamics also incorporates relativistic effects and includes magnetic field effects. We treat inner ionization considering inner field ignition, screening and fluctuation contributions as well as small [(< or =13%)] impact ionization contributions. Subsequent to inner ionization a charged nanoplasma is contained within the cluster, whose response to the composite (laser+inner) field results in outer ionization, which can be approximately described by an entire cluster barrier suppression ionization mechanism.     

Thermodynamics of ionization of 2,4-dinitrophenol in water-dimethylsulfoxide solvents

The ionization constants of 2,4-dinitrophenol were measured in water-dimethylsulphoxide solvent mixtures at five temperatures ranging from 20 to 40°C. The enthalpy and entropy contributions to the ionization process are discussed. The results indicate that in water-rich solvent mixtures the ionization process is controlled by the entropy factor while in the dimethylsulphoxide-rich solvent mixtures it is controlled by the enthalpy factor.     

Microsolvation of F- in water

Microsolvation of F- in water is studied by ionization and double ionization spectra of (H2O)1-3F- calculated by ab initio methods. It is shown that the presence of the fluorine electrons introduces many-body properties in the spectra which cannot be reproduced by the presence of a negative point charge. The increase of the solvation shell increases the complexity in particular of the double ionization spectra. Ionization and double ionization energies slowly increase with continued solvation, and many-body effects in the inner valence spectra become more prominent.     

Dissociative double ionization of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane irradiated by an intense femtosecond laser field

The dissociative double ionization and multi-photon ionization of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (BCE) irradiated by the 800 nm femtosecond laser field have been investigated by dc-slice imaging technology. The charged parent ion ratio [BCE(2+)]/[BCE(+)] was measured, and the corresponding ionization process including non-sequential double ionization and sequential double ionization was analyzed. The sliced images of different photo-dissociated ions were detected, and the corresponding kinetic energy release (KER) distributions were calculated and extracted. Furthermore, the dissociative double ionization channels, attributed to the cleavage of the C-C, C-Br, and C-Cl bonds by the Coulombic repulsive forces, were discussed, and the revised equilibrium distance R(e)*, the energy ratio E(exp)/E(coul), and the value a=√(R(e)*)/(E(exp)/E(coul)) were calculated.     

Two-photon ionization thresholds of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization matrix clusters

Direct two-photon ionization of the matrix has been considered a likely primary ionization mechanism in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. This mechanism requires that the vertical ionization threshold of matrix materials be below twice the laser photon energy. Because dimers and larger aggregates may be numerous in the early stages of the MALDI plume expansion, their ionization thresholds are important as well. We have used two-color two-photon ionization to determine the ionization thresholds of jet cooled clusters of an important matrix, 2,5-dihydroxy benzoic acid (DHB), and mixed clusters with the thermal decomposition product of DHB, hydroquinone. The thresholds of the clusters were reduced by only a few tenths of an eV compared to the monomers, to an apparent limit of 7.82 eV for pure DHB clusters. None of the investigated clusters can be directly ionized by two nitrogen laser photons (7.36 eV), and the ionization efficiency at the thresholds is low.     

Evaluation of ionization techniques for mass spectrometric detection of contact allergenic hydroperoxides formed by autoxidation of fragrance terpenes

Hydroperoxides formed by autoxidation of common fragrance terpenes are strong allergens and known to cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), a common skin disease caused by low molecular weight chemicals. Until now, no suitable methods for chemical analyses of monoterpene hydroperoxides have been available. Their thermolability prohibits the use of gas chromatography and their low UV-absorption properties do not promote sensitive analytical methods by liquid chromatography based on UV detection. In our study, we have investigated different liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), and atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI), for detection of hydroperoxides from linalool and limonene.Flow injection analysis was used to evaluate the three different techniques to ionize the monoterpene hydroperoxides, linalool hydroperoxide and limonene hydroperoxide, by estimating the signal efficacy under experimental conditions for positive and negative ionization modes. The intensities for the species [M+H]+ and [M+H-H2O]+ in positive ionization mode and [M-H]- and [M-H-H2O]- in negative ionization mode were monitored. It was demonstrated that the mobile phase composition and instrumental parameters have major influences on the ionization efficiency of these compounds. ESI and APCI were both found to be appropriate as ionization techniques for detection of the two hydroperoxides. However, APPI was less suitable as ionization technique for the investigated hydroperoxides.

Nebulization ionization and desorption ionization analysis of reactive organofunctionalized silanes in nanofilm products

Three different and recently developed desorption ionization techniques, transmission-mode desorption electrospray ionization (TM-DESI), low temperature plasma (LTP) ionization and nano-assisted laser desorption ionization (NALDI), are compared with electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) for the analysis of two nanofilm products (NFPs) for surface coating, which contain hydrolysates and condensates of organo-functionalized silanes. The NFPs were characterized in different states from the liquid phase to the fully formed surface film. The LTP spectra were dominated by the silanes, while the corresponding di-, tri- and tetrasiloxanes were common in ESI, APCI and TM-DESI. This indicates readily condensation of the silanes during the ESI and APCI ionization processes leading to the observed siloxanes. NALDI showed larger siloxane structures than the other techniques, indicating film formation on the NALDI target. Real-time monitoring of the film formation on a glass surface by LTP showed a decreasing abundance of the silanes, while the abundances of the di-, tri and tetrasiloxanes increased significantly within the first 100 s. LTP was superior in showing the non-reacted content of the NFPs, while ESI, APCI and TM-DESI were characterized by artefact formation of siloxanes. NALDI was ideal for showing the siloxane structures of the formed film. The applicabilities of each of the ionization techniques were examined, showing the advantage of utilizing more than one ionization technique for the analysis of reactive species.

Corona discharge secondary ionization of laser desorbed neutral molecules from a liquid matrix at atmospheric pressure

Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is studied at atmospheric pressure using liquid sampling methods. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer couples to an open sample stage accessed by a UV laser for desorption and ionization. Also coupled to the sampling state is a corona discharge for auxiliary ionization of desorbed neutral molecules. The interaction of the laser desorption and corona ionization is studied for a range of desorption conditions, showing enhanced analyte ionization, but the effect is analytically advantageous only at low desorption rates. The effect of corona discharge voltage was also explored. The decoupling of neutral molecule formation and subsequent ionization provides an opportunity to study each process separately.     

Forensic applications of ambient ionization mass spectrometry

This review highlights and critically assesses forensic applications in the developing field of ambient ionization mass spectrometry. Ambient ionization methods permit the ionization of samples outside the mass spectrometer in the ordinary atmosphere, with minimal sample preparation. Several ambient ionization methods have been created since 2004 and they utilize different mechanisms to create ions for mass-spectrometric analysis. Forensic applications of these techniques—to the analysis of toxic industrial compounds, chemical warfare agents, illicit drugs and formulations, explosives, foodstuff, inks, fingerprints, and skin—are reviewed. The minimal sample pretreatment needed is illustrated with examples of analysis from complex matrices (e.g., food) on various substrates (e.g., paper). The low limits of detection achieved by most of the ambient ionization methods for compounds of forensic interest readily offer qualitative confirmation of chemical identity; in some cases quantitative data are also available. The forensic applications of ambient ionization methods are a growing research field and there are still many types of applications which remain to be explored, particularly those involving on-site analysis. Aspects of ambient ionization currently undergoing rapid development include molecular imaging and increased detection specificity through simultaneous chemical reaction and ionization by addition of appropriate chemical reagents.

Photoelectron angular distribution in valence shell ionization of heteroaromatic molecules studied by the continuum multiple scattering xalpha method

Photoelectron angular distributions are calculated for the valence shell ionization of heteroaromatic molecules of pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, pyrrole, and furan by the continuum multiple scattering Xalpha method. The asymmetry parameters exhibit strong energy dependences in ionization from pi orbitals but are almost invariant in ionization from sigma orbitals, in good agreement with experimental results. The asymmetry parameters in ionization from nonbonding orbitals appear generally higher than those in ionization from bonding orbitals. These features are interpreted in terms of the Coulomb phase and photoelectron angular distribution in the molecular frame.

Competitive ionization processes of anthracene excited with a femtosecond pulse in the multi-photon ionization regime

To clarify the ionization mechanism of large molecules under multi-photon ionization conditions, photo-electron spectroscopic studies on anthracene have been performed with electron imaging technique. Electron kinetic energy distributions below a few eV reveal that three kinds of ionization channels coexist, viz., vertical ionization, ionization from Rydberg states, and thermionic hot electron emission. Their relative yield is determined by the characteristic of the laser pulse. The duration in particular influences the ratio between the first two processes, while for higher intensities the last process dominates. Our results provide strong evidence that internal conversion plays an important role for the ionization of the molecule.     

Sequence-specific fragmentation of benzyloxycarbonyl dipeptides by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization

The mechanism of fragment ion formation in resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) of benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ)-derivitized dipeptides is presented. At 266 nm, the entire multiphoton process can be thought of as a two-part scheme where ionization occurs by resonant two-photon ionization followed by photodissociation of the created ions. When the energy of two photons exceeds the molecular ionization energy by a significant amount, REMPI has the advantage of producing both parent ions and low appearance energy fragments in large amounts. For CBZ dipeptides, resonant two-photon ionization at 266 nm produces parent ions as well as A type sequence ions with high abundance. On the other hand, a three-photon process (resonant two-photon ionization followed by parent ion photodissociation) forms sequence-related ions which also involve complex fragmentations of the CBZ chromophore. These results are compared to mass spectra obtained by other ionization/dissociation methods and to REMPI mass spectra of related compounds. Factors related to molecular structure elucidation based upon REMPI mass spectra are discussed. Enhanced isomer distinction is demonstrated for CBZ-leu-ala-OCH₃ and CBZ-ile-ala-OCH₃ based upon REMPI fragmentation.     

Ionization energies of hypervalent Li2F,Li2Cl and Na2Cl molecules obtained by surface ionization electron impact neutralization mass spectrometry

Ionization energies of hypervalent Li(2)F, Li(2)Cl and Na(2)Cl molecules detected by surface ionization electron impact neutralization mass spectrometry are reported. The ionization energies were 3.78 +/- 0.2 eV for Li(2)F, 4.93 +/- 0.2 eV for Li(2)Cl, and 4.21 +/- 0.2 eV for Na(2)Cl. The ionization energies (IE) agree with theoretical ionization energies calculated by ab initio methods, supporting the theoretical prediction that Li(2)F has a hyperlithiated configuration in which the odd electron delocalizes over the two lithiums and with photoionization measurement. The first ionization energy of Na(2)Cl was experimentally confirmed earlier and for Li(2)Cl as well.8 We have developed and used this new approach for the problem--in the present work ions were first formed by surface ionization, followed by electron attachment (neutralization).
