Owing to their unique physical and chemical properties, transition metal compounds,
especially transition metal oxides, nitrides, carbides and sulfides, have been the subject of …

The authors review the use of core-level resonant photoemission and resonant Auger
spectroscopy to study femtosecond charge-transfer dynamics. Starting from simple models …

The purpose of this book is the development of the principles and experimental techniques
underlying near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and the …

We present the use of the recently developed square gradient minimization (SGM) algorithm
for excited-state orbital optimization to obtain spin-pure restricted open-shell Kohn–Sham …

The absolute-scale electronic energetics of liquid water and aqueous solutions, both in the
bulk and at associated interfaces, are the central determiners of water-based chemistry …

Extensive nitrogen K-edge X-ray absorption studies have been performed for the first time
on seven petroleum asphaltenes and nitrogen standard compounds for the purpose of …

2 H 4, C 2 D 4, C 2 H 6, C 2 D 6 measured with unprecedented energy resolution and signal …

Air lasing from single ionized N 2+ molecules induced by laser filamentation in air has been
intensively investigated and the mechanisms responsible for lasing are currently highly …

The K-shell excitation spectra of the hydrides water, ammonia, and methane have been
measured in photoabsorption experiments using synchrotron radiation in combination with a …

The theoretical description of core‐excitation spectra presents a difficult problem due to the
large excitation energies involved, and the extensive relaxation effects that occur upon …
