X-ray diffractive imaging of controlled gas-phase molecules: Toward imaging of dynamics in the molecular frame
Thomas Kierspel, Andrew Morgan, Joss Wiese +25
We report experimental results on the diffractive imaging of three-dimensionally aligned 2,5-diiodothiophene molecules. The molecules were aligned by chirped near-infrared laser pu…
Pure Molecular Beam of Water Dimer
Helen Bieker, Jolijn Onvlee, Melby Johny +5
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 rotation…
Spatial separation of pyrrole and pyrrole-water clusters
Melby Johny, Jolijn Onvlee, Thomas Kierspel +3
We demonstrate the spatial separation of pyrrole and pyrrole(HO) clusters from the other atomic and molecular species in a supersonically-expanded beam of pyrrole and traces of…
Knife edge skimming for improved separation of molecular species by the deflector
Sebastian Trippel, Melby Johny, Thomas Kierspel +7
A knife edge for shaping a molecular beam is described to improve the spatial separation of the species in a molecular beam by the electrostatic deflector. The spatial separation o…
Photophysics of indole upon x-ray absorption
Thomas Kierspel, Cédric Bomme, Michele Di Fraia +11
A photofragmentation study of gas-phase indole (CHN) upon single-photon ionization at a photon energy of 420 eV is presented. Indole was primarily inner-shell ionized at it…
Strongly aligned gas-phase molecules at Free-Electron Lasers
Thomas Kierspel, Joss Wiese, Terry Mullins +27
We demonstrate a novel experimental implementation to strongly align molecules at full repetition rates of free-electron lasers. We utilized the available in-house laser system at…
