Molecular beam scattering of ammonia from a dodecane flat liquid jet.

The evaporation and scattering of ND from a dodecane flat liquid jet are investigated and the results are compared with previous studies on molecular beam scattering from liquid surfaces. Evaporation is well-described by a Maxwell-Boltzmann flux distribution with a cos  angular distribution at the liquid temperature. Scattering experiments at = 28.

Evaporation and scattering of neon, methane, and water from a dodecane flat liquid jet.

The evaporation and scattering of Ne, CD4, and D2O from a dodecane flat liquid jet are investigated in a molecular beam apparatus. The experiment yields translational energy distributions as a function of scattering angle by means of a rotatable mass spectrometer. In the evaporation experiments, one observes a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution with a cos θ angular distribution superimposed on a weak, isotropic background.

Photodissociation of iso-propoxy (i-CHO) radical at 248 nm.

Photodissociation of the i-CHO radical is investigated using fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. Neutral i-CHO radicals are produced through the photodetachment of a fast beam of i-CHO anions and are subsequently dissociated at 248 nm (5.0 eV).
