A beam of size-selected charged helium droplets was crossed with an electron beam, and the ion efficiency curves for the product droplets in all different charge states were recorded. We estimate that the selected helium droplets on their passage through the electron beam are hit by several hundred electrons which can interact with the individual He atoms of the droplets. Reaction channels corresponding to the removal or capture of up to eight electrons were identified, and in all cases, inelastic scattering and the formation of metastable helium played a significant role.
We have studied the intermolecular complex formation between trifluoromethoxybenzene and methanol (CD3OD) by infrared spectroscopy in superfluid helium droplets in the spectral range of 2630 and 2730 cm-1, covering the...
In this Perspective we present the state of the art of creating mixed metal clusters in the superfluid droplet environment and their investigation through a successful interplay between experimental characterization and theoretical modelling.
