▪ Abstract The problem of the binding of an excess electron to polar molecules and their
clusters has long fascinated researchers. Although excess electrons bound to such species …

The hydrated electron is a fascinating species that has captured the scientific attention of
chemists for more than 50 years. Although the experimental detection of the hydrated …

The field of cluster research can trace its origins back to the mid-nineteenth century when
early studies of colloids, aerosols, and nucleation phenomena were reported. The field …

The localization and solvation of excess electrons in pure water have been resolved at the
femtosecond time scale. Before it becomes solvated, the electron thermalizes and reaches …

In characterizing anion states either experimentally or theoretically different techniques are
required for bound and temporary or metastable anions. Anions that lie energetically above …

We have shown that the fluorescence lifetime of the polysilane, poly (di-n-hexylsilane), is
significantly increased in crystalline forms. This is attributed to a decrease in the rate of …

The anions of the nucleic acid bases, uracil and thymine, were studied by negative ion
photoelectron spectroscopy. Both monomer anions exhibit spectroscopic signatures that are …

In this paper we present a quantum‐mechanical study of anions in water clusters, X−(H2O) n
(X= Cl, Br, I, and n= 1–6). Molecular orbital calculations at the self‐consistent field (SCF) …

Electron attachment and localization in small water clusters (H2O) n (n= 8–128) is studied
using path‐integral molecular dynamics simulations. The electron‐water molecule …

Humidity tends to deteriorate the output performance and the stability of triboelectric
nanogenerator (TENG). However, the microscopic mechanism of how water molecules …
