State-Resolved Thermal Hyperthermal Collisional Dynamics of Atmospheric Species

Abstract

This work will study fundamental chemical physics phenomena that play a crucial role in the harsh, high collision energy environment of the Earth s upper atmosphere. Specifically, hyperthermal collision, partial electron transfer and mulitphoton electron photoemission dynamics at gas-liquid, gas-molten metal, gas-self-assembled monolayer and gas-nanoparticle interfaces at the quantum state-to-state level will be investigated utilizing a novel combination of pulsed molecular beams, quantum state selective (IR, REMPI and LIF) detection, velocity map imaging (VMI), and ultrafast photoelectron microscopy methods.
