The singlet-triplet splitting of NH was determined experimentally by spectroscopy of neutral NH and by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) of the NH anion. In the latter experiment, the anion NH is prepared in the gas phase and exposed to monochromatic ultraviolet (UV)-laser hght. This photolysis leads to ejection of photoelectrons whose kinetic energies ( k) are analyzed. As the energy... 

Photoelectron spectroscopy provides a direct measure of the filled density of states of a solid. The kinetic energy distribution of the electrons that are emitted via the photoelectric effect when a sample is exposed to a monocluomatic ultraviolet (UV) or x-ray beam yields a photoelectron spectrum. Photoelectron spectroscopy not only provides the atomic composition, but also infonnation conceming the chemical enviromnent of the atoms in the near-surface region. Thus, it is probably the most popular and usefiil surface analysis teclmique. There are a number of fonus of photoelectron spectroscopy in conuuon use. 

XPS is also often perfonned employing syncln-otron radiation as the excitation source [59]. This technique is sometimes called soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS) to distinguish it from laboratory XPS. The use of syncluotron radiation has two major advantages (1) a much higher spectral resolution can be achieved and (2) the photon energy of the excitation can be adjusted which, in turn, allows for a particular electron kinetic energy to be selected. 

ZEKE (zero kinetic energy) photoelectron spectroscopy has also been applied to negative ions [M]. In ZEKE work, the laser wavelengdi is swept tlirough photodetachment thresholds and only electrons with near-zero kinetic energy are...

Time-of-flight mass spectrometers have been used as detectors in a wider variety of experiments tlian any other mass spectrometer. This is especially true of spectroscopic applications, many of which are discussed in this encyclopedia. Unlike the other instruments described in this chapter, the TOP mass spectrometer is usually used for one purpose, to acquire the mass spectrum of a compound. They caimot generally be used for the kinds of ion-molecule chemistry discussed in this chapter, or structural characterization experiments such as collision-induced dissociation. Plowever, they are easily used as detectors for spectroscopic applications such as multi-photoionization (for the spectroscopy of molecular excited states) [38], zero kinetic energy electron spectroscopy [39] (ZEKE, for the precise measurement of ionization energies) and comcidence measurements (such as photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy [40] for the measurement of ion fragmentation breakdown diagrams). 

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is among the most frequently used surface chemical characterization teclmiques. Several excellent books on XPS are available [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7], XPS is based on the photoelectric effect an atom absorbs a photon of energy hv from an x-ray source next, a core or valence electron with bindmg energy is ejected with kinetic energy (figure Bl.25.1) ... 

The factor limiting the resolution in ultraviolet photoelectron spectra is the inability to measure the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons with sufficient accuracy. The source of the problem points to a possible solution. If the photoelectrons could be produced with zero kinetic energy this cause of the loss of resolution would be largely removed. This is the basis of zero kinetic energy photoelectron (ZEKE-PE) spectroscopy. 

Recently, zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to study the OH/NH tautomerism of 2-pyridone in the gas phase (95JPC8608). This work, which is expected to develop considerably, provides a wealth of information about that equilibrium for the states So, Sj, and Do (cation ground state). 

X-ray absorption spectroscopy combining x-ray absorption near edge fine structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) was used to extensively characterize Pt on Cabosll catalysts. XANES Is the result of electron transitions to bound states of the absorbing atom and thereby maps the symmetry - selected empty manifold of electron states. It Is sensitive to the electronic configuration of the absorbing atom. When the photoelectron has sufficient kinetic energy to be ejected from the atom It can be backscattered by neighboring atoms. The quantum Interference of the Initial... 

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is based on the photoelectric effect. When a sample is irradiated with monochromatic X-rays, such as the K lines of Mg (1253.6eV) or Al (1486.6 eV), core-level electrons from the inner shells of atoms in the sample will be ejected from the sample to the surrounding vacuum. The kinetic energy, Er, of the emitted photoelectron is given by...

Photoelectron spectroscopy uses radiation to excite a molecule from an initial state (usually the ground state) to an ionised final state with an emitted electron, possessing kinetic energy, KE. The overall process can be viewed as...
