项目摘要

In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Andrei Sanov from the University of Arizona and his post-doctoral and graduate student colleagues will investigate the electronic processes governing chemical reactions through photoelectron imaging and photofragment spectroscopy. The Sanov group will specifically investigate (1) the time-resolved dynamics and interference effects in bond-dissociation reactions of molecular and cluster anions, (2) the structure and photodetachment dynamics of molecular and cluster anions and (3) the solvent-enabled and solvent-controlled reactivity in molecular cluster anions. These studies will be carried out in the gas phase in the collision-free conditions of the group's negative-ion beam source, coupled with pulsed laser excitation and photoelectron imaging. Photoelectron imaging provides a powerful new tool with which to study chemical reactions in exquisite detail. In addition, the photoelectron images can be used a quantum photographs which provide deep insights into the fundamental details of chemical bonding. The images themselves are used to illustrate quantum aspects of chemical bonding in undergraduate and graduate teaching. Besides the broader scientific and educational impacts of the imaging techniques being pioneered in Sanov's laboratory, Sanov will continue to train a new generation of scientists working at the intersection of chemistry and physics.

在该奖项中，由化学部实验物理化学计划资助，亚利桑那大学的安德烈·萨诺夫（Andrei Sanov）教授及其博士后和研究生同事将通过光电成像和光片段光谱光谱法调查有关化学反应的电子过程。 SANOV组将特别研究（1）分子和簇阴离子的键分离反应的时间分辨动力学和干扰效应，（2）分子和簇阴离子的结构和光检查动力学以及（3）启用溶剂和溶剂的分子簇中的溶剂和溶剂控制反应性。这些研究将在该组负离子束源的无碰撞条件下与脉冲激光激发和光电子成像相结合。光电子成像提供了一种功能强大的新工具，可以通过该工具精美地研究化学反应。此外，光电子图像可以使用量子照片，可深入了解化学键合的基本细节。图像本身用于说明本科和研究生教学中化学键合的量子方面。除了在Sanov实验室开创的成像技术的更广泛的科学和教育影响外，Sanov还将继续培训在化学与物理学交集中工作的新一代科学家。
