Chirality Linear and Non-Linear Optical Activity Parity Violating Weak Interaction III. NanoMaterials (STAIR IGERT Grant)

  3. Science Review M. K. Scheller, R. N. Compton, and L. S. Cederbaum, Science, 270, 1160 (1995).

  4. Electron Binding to a Polar Molecule: Dipole Bound Anions mmin=1.625 D for fixed or point dipole mmin2.4-2.5 D for real, rotating molecules

  5. + Rb + Rb+

  6. Ion Physics at theArhus Storage Ring

  7. IR-MPD Vibrational Spectroscopy of SF6- • Assignment of IR-MPD spectra provides foundation for further study: • Suggests Oh symmetry structure • Gives spectral region to look for SF6- atmospheric absorption feature • Starting point for theoretical treatment of electron capture dynamics

  8. Multiply-charged Negative Ions e- e-

  9. A schematic view of a linear electrospray ionization coupled to three quadrupole mass spectrometers. Q1 and Q2 are the first and second quadrupole mass spectrometers respectively. D1 and D1 are the electron multiplier detectors. CC is the collision cell containing a quadrupole ion guide q.
