AbstractWe present measurements of the evolution with film thickness of the 3d electronic states at the Fermi energy of ultrathin Ni films. The morphology and thickness of the films is determined from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. x-ray photoelectron diffraction and x-ray magnetic linear dichroism using synchrotron radiation. Photoelectron angular distributions were measured using an ellipsoidal mirror analyzer. Even at submonolayer Ni coverages, the 3d electronic states exhibit bulk-like properties. This is attributed to the short screening length of electrons in metals, the localization of the 3d electrons, the similarity of the Ni and Cu ion cores, and finally the interaction with the underlying fcc periodic potential.

Isomer-specific, high-resolution photoelectron spectra of cryogenically-cooled pyridinide anions obtained using slow photoelectron velocity-map imaging are presented. New vibrational structure in the detachment spectrum of para-pyridinide is resolved, and the spectra of meta- and ortho-pyridinide are reported for the first time. These spectra yield electron affinities of 1.4797(5), 1.4473(5), and 0.8669(7) eV for the para-, meta- and ortho-pyridyl radicals, respectively, as well as a number of vibrational frequencies for each neutral isomer. While most of the resolved structure in all three spectra is readily assigned by comparison to B3LYP/6-311+G* Franck-Condon simulations, the para-pyridinide spectrum shows newly-resolved fine structure attributed to anharmonic coupling within the vibrational manifold of the corresponding neutral radical. Isomeric trends in the photoelectron angular distributions are rationalized by approximating the detached anion orbitals as superpositions of s, p, and d-like hydrogenic orbitals, based on an application of Sanov’s generalized mixing model [J. Chem. Phys. 141, 124312 (2014)]. The presented experimental and theoretical results are used to address the relative energies of the anion and neutral isomers, as well as the site-specific bond dissociation energies of pyridine.

AbstractWe use an extension of the static-exchange density functional theory (DFT) method, previously reported in [E. Plésiat et al., Phys. Rev. A 2, 023409 (2012), E. Plésiat, P. Decleva, F. Martín, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 31, 10853 (2012)], to evaluate vibrationally resolved (total and angular) K-shell photoelectron cross sections of methane. The calculated cross sections are in very good agreement with the existing experimental measurements at low photoelectron energies. We show that, in contrast with the rich interference patterns previously observed in molecular frame C(1s) photoelectron angular distributions of methane at both low and high photoelectron energy, no interference effects are observed in the calculated β parameters, even at high photon energies.
