Existence of a hydrated electron as a byproduct of water radiolysis was established more
than 50 years ago, yet this species continues to attract significant attention due to its role in …

Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) is the most widely-used electronic
structure method for excited states, due to a favorable combination of low cost and semi …

Solvated electrons are typically generated by radiolysis or photoionization of solutes. While
plasmas containing free electrons have been brought into contact with liquids in studies …

The hydrated electron, e–(aq), has attracted much attention as a central species in radiation
chemistry. However, much less is known about e–(aq) at the water/air surface, despite its …

Recently there has been a revival of interest in the basic structure of the aqueous or
“hydrated” electron, e−(aq). According to the conventional picture, this species occupies a …

Based on the current knowledge, a plasma–liquid interface looks and behaves very
differently from its counterpart at a solid surface. Local processes characteristic to most …

The solvated electron is one of the strongest known reducing species. Solution-based glow
discharges, in which a gaseous discharge is ignited between a metal electrode and a liquid …

Since its discovery over 50 years ago, the “structure” and properties of the hydrated electron
have been a subject for wonderment and also fierce debate. In the present work we …

A primary means to generate hydrated electrons in laboratory experiments is excitation to
the charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) state of a solute such as I–(aq), but this initial step in …

We provide a consistent description of the electronic levels associated with localized and
delocalized excess electrons in liquid water by combining hybrid-functional molecular …
