Pure Molecular Beam of Water Dimer
arXiv:1904.08716 · doi:10.1021/acs.jpca.9b06460
Abstract
Spatial separation of water dimer from water monomer and larger water-clusters through the electric deflector is presented. A beam of water dimer with purity and a rotational temperature of K was obtained. Following strong-field ionization using a fs laser pulse with a wavelength centered around nm and a peak intensity of we observed proton transfer and of the ionized water dimer broke apart into a hydronium ion and neutral OH.
