Article Synopsis
  • Most research on ionizing radiations in cancer treatment has primarily focused on the ionization process, overlooking the effects of excitation events.
  • This study utilizes a novel cathodoluminescence system to analyze the excited states of DNA when exposed to accelerated electrons in the picosecond time frame.
  • Findings indicate both qualitative differences and quantitative similarities between DNA's excited states under electron and photon exposure, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes.

The poor structural properties of organic-inorganic interfaces and their variability represent the main cause of device under-performance. Understanding and controlling the development of these properties in real time has been a difficult experimental challenge. Using a recent technique based on grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD), we were able to directly observe during deposition structural transitions in a perylene monolayer on Ag(110).

Integral cross sections were measured for two reactions occurring in CH+ + O- collisions: the formation of the carbon monoxide cation CO+ via a reactive ionization process and the formation of the (iso)formyl cation HCO+ (HOC+) via the associative ionization process. Both carbon monoxide and formyl cations are present in the interstellar medium, the latter one being quite abundant in dense clouds. Provided the oxygen anion would also be present in the interstellar environment, the large efficiency of the two reactive processes reported here would justify their inclusion in astrochemical models.
