X-ray Driven Trihydrogen Formation on Silica Nanosurfaces
Samuel Sahel-Schackis, Adam Summers, Ritika Dagar +29
The trihydrogen cation () initiates the ion-molecule reactions that build molecular complexity in interstellar space. Whether its canonical formation reaction, $\ma…
Generative Modeling Enables Molecular Structure Retrieval from Coulomb Explosion Imaging
Xiang Li, Till Jahnke, Rebecca Boll +12
Capturing the structural changes that molecules undergo during chemical reactions in real space and time is a long-standing dream and an essential prerequisite for understanding an…
Neural Network Based Molecular Structure Retrieval from Coulomb Explosion Imaging Data
Amirhossein Ghanaatian, Aravinth K. Ravi, Joshua Stallbaumer +6
Determining the structure and following the structural evolution of molecules undergoing chemical reactions is one of the key goals of ultrafast molecular physics and chemistry. Re…
Probing the structure of cyclic hydrocarbon molecules with X-ray-induced Coulomb explosion imaging
Kurtis D. Borne, Rebecca Boll, Thomas M. Baumann +27
Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI) is a powerful experimental technique that maps a molecule's geometric structure onto the momenta of ionic molecular fragments produced by rapid mult…
Imaging transient molecular configurations in UV-excited diiodomethane
Anbu Selvam Venkatachalam, Huynh Van Sa Lam, Surjendu Bhattacharyya +6
Femtosecond structural dynamics of diiodomethane () triggered by ultraviolet (UV) photoabsorption at 290 nm and 330 nm are studied using time-resolved coincident…
Decoding Molecular Geometries in Coulomb Explosion Imaging via Physics-Informed Deep Neural Network
Xingyu Guo, Enliang Wang, Wenguang Wu +8
Determining the absolute configuration of gas-phase molecules in position-space has long been a fundamental challenge in molecular physics. While strong-field-induced Coulomb explo…
