Cl(-)·CH(3)I cluster anion photoelectron images are recorded over a range of detachment wavelengths in the immediate post threshold region. The photoelectron spectral features fall into two categories. A number of weak, photon energy dependent transitions are observed and attributed to atomic anion fragmentation products. Several more intense, higher electron binding energy transitions result from single photon cluster anion detachment. Comparison with I(-)·CH(3)I suggests that the detachment process is more complicated for Cl(-)·CH(3)I. The single photon transition spacing is consistent with CH(3)I ν(3) mode excitation, but the two distinct vibronic bands of I(-)·CH(3)I detachment are not easily distinguished in the Cl(-)·CH(3)I spectra. Similarly, while the spectral intensities for both cluster anions show non-Franck Condon behavior, the level of vibrational excitation appears greater for Cl(-)·CH(3)I detachment. These observations are discussed in terms of low lying electronic states of CH(3)I along the C-I coordinate, and the influence of the CH(3)I moiety on the neutral halogen atom states.

The ever-growing interest in MXenes has been driven by their distinct electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. In this context, further revealing their physicochemical attributes remains the key frontier of MXene materials. Herein, we report the anisotropic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) features in TiCT MXene as well as site-selective photocatalysis enabled by the photophysical anisotropy.

Despite its profound significance, the molecular structural changes near the transition state, driven by the vibronic coupling, have remained largely unexplored, leaving a crucial aspect of chemical reactions shrouded in uncertainty. Herein, the dynamical behavior of the reactive flux on the verge of chemical bond breakage was revealed through the spectroscopic characterization of a large amplitude vibrational motion. Highly excited internal rotor states of S methylamine (CHND) report on the structural change as the molecule approaches the transition state, indicating that the quasi-free internal rotation is strongly coupled to the reaction coordinate as their energies near the maximum of the reaction barrier for the N-D chemical bond predissociation.

Milling chatter, a form of self-excited vibration, can cause significant damage in machining and manufacturing processes. By selecting appropriate milling parameters, milling chatter can be effectively mitigated without sacrificing milling efficiency. Within the framework of the semi-discretization scheme, this paper introduces the Newton-Simpson-based predictor-corrector methods to compute milling stability lobe diagrams.

CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZT(S,Se)) thin films exhibit the characteristics necessary to be effective absorbers in solar cells. In this report, the room temperature experimental Raman scattering spectra, recorded at different excitation wavelengths, are systematically analyzed theoretically using the results of DFT harmonic frequencies calculations at the Γ-point for various modifications of kesterite (KS), stannite (ST), and pre-mixed Cu-Au (PMCA) crystal structures. The specific anharmonism-induced features in the spectra of CZT(S,Se) crystals are identified, and the spectral lineshapes at varied strengths of anharmonic interaction are simulated.

Rolling bearings of the vibration exciter are prone to failure due to long-term high amplitude alternating impact loads, causing economic losses and threatening production safety. The heavy environmental noise during the operation of the vibration exciter and the high vibration level generated by the eccentric block make the weak bearing fault features submerged and difficult to extract. Teager-Kaiser energy operator is a popular method for extracting bearing fault features.
