研究目的
Investigating the asymmetric photoelectron emission from chiral molecules using a high repetition rate laser to understand the photoelectron circular dichroism effect.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated multiphoton photoelectron circular dichroism in an aromatic chiral molecule, showing a linear dependence of the asymmetry on the Stokes’ S3 parameter. This indicates a single photon process from the excited state, contrasting with more complex behaviors observed in other molecules like camphor. The technique shows promise for high-speed, sensitive analysis of chiral compounds.
研究不足
The study's limitations include the specific focus on 1-phenylethanol and camphor, which may not represent all chiral molecules. Additionally, the experimental setup's sensitivity and the laser's parameters may limit the detection of smaller asymmetries or the study of molecules with different ionization thresholds.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a stereo-electron detection system to measure the PECD effect, involving multiphoton ionization of chiral molecules with femtosecond laser pulses.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The exemplar aromatic chiral molecule 1-phenylethanol was used, with data collected on the asymmetry of photoelectron emission.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Spectra-Physics Spirit 1040-16-SHG laser operating at 1 MHz, producing 300fs long pulses at 260 nm, was used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser beam was focused on an effusive molecular gas, and the resulting photoelectrons were analyzed using a magnetic field and electric fields to separate and detect electrons from forward and backward emission hemispheres.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The asymmetry parameter G was calculated based on the angular distribution of electrons, with analysis focusing on the dependence of G on the Stokes S3 parameter.
