Acquisition of a Laser Desorption-Time -of-Flight Mass Spectrometry System for Measuring Ultrafast Dissociation Dynamics in Energetic Molecules

Abstract

The central objective of this proposal was the acquisition of new instrumentation to establish new research capabilities for investigating the decomposition dynamics of energetic molecules and materials. The instrumentation is intended to implement femtosecond laser desorption of energetic materials from solid thin films to produce gas-phase molecules and clusters, which will enable the investigation of decomposition dynamics on femtosecond through picosecond timescales.
