TL;DR: In this article, the authors present detailed free electron attachment measurements on nitroaromatic compounds in the gas phase and show that dissociative electron attachment can act as a selective and sensitive probe for the identification of isomeric forms of nitrotoluene and dinitrobenzene.

TL;DR: In this article, the breakdown behavior of hollow cathode glow discharge was investigated in a cylindrical, hollow cathodes structure having an internal diameter of 2 cm, where the anode is a plane electrode across one end of the cathode cylinder.

TL;DR: In this paper, free electron attachment in the energy range 0-4 eV to binary van der Waals clusters composed of N2/SF6 and O2/O2 is studied with high resolution (< 0.1 eV).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the formation of hot ions, i.e., the deposition of excess energy into various degrees of freedom, which leads to spontaneous decay reactions of these hot ions on time scales ranging from a few vibrational oscillations for prompt dissociations up to several 100 µs for metastable dissociation.

TL;DR: Experiments with partially deuterated or methylated thymine show that the site of dehydrogenation can be precisely controlled by the incident electron energy, and such bond and site selectivity remains in more complex environments when thymine is a moiety of thymidine (base+sugar unit) and of a thymine cluster embedded in a superfluid helium droplet.
