Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

State of the art in the development and application of gas cluster ion sources is considered.
The mechanisms of neutral cluster formation, the techniques applied to study their flows and …

This review summarizes the current understanding of electrostatic phenomena in ordered
and disordered organic semiconductors, outlines numerical schemes developed for …

A quantitative determination of 2 s vacancy lifetimes in surface and bulk atoms of free Ne
clusters has been made. While for free atoms the 2 s inner-valence hole has a ps lifetime, it …

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) provides direct information on atomic composition
and stoichiometry by measuring core–electron binding energies. Moreover, from the shift of …

(H 2 O) N clusters generated in a supersonic expansion source with N∼ 1000 were core
ionized by synchrotron radiation, giving rise to core-level photoelectron and Auger electron …

Ionization processes in thin films are central to organic electronics. The ionization potential I
(p) or electron affinity A (p) of any molecule p depends on the electronic polarization of the …

Core-shell segregation of copper and silver in self-assembled, free nanoparticles is
established by means of photoelectron spectroscopy in a wide range of relative Cu-Ag …

Irradiation of nanoscale clusters and large molecules with intense laser pulses transforms
them into highly-excited non-equilibrium states. The dynamics of intense laser-cluster …

Using photoelectron spectroscopy, we demonstrate how the self-assembling process of
cluster formation in an adiabatic expansion leads to radial segregation and layering as well …
