Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Energetic Materials and Catalytic Clusters with a 26.5 eV Tabletop Laser

Abstract

This DURIP grant was for the design and construction of a photoelectron spectrometer (PES) to study the electronic energy levels and structures of mass selected energetic materials and neutral catalytic clusters. The apparatus is now finished and presently acquiring data on representative sample in both areas. We present data for FeO2 as an initial first experiment for mass spectra and PES of a known sample. The clusters are generated by laser ablation and the electrons are collected through a magnetic bottle time of flight analyzer following the mass selection of FeO2-.
