The principal aim of this program has been to study the electronic structure of insulating liquids of biological interest over a broad energy range from 0 to 30 eV. The studies basically consist of measuring the reflectance, transmittance, photoemission and photoionization of dielectric liquids in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region as a function of angle of incidence and energy. these in turn may be interpreted in terms of the electronic structure of each liquid as it is excited by the passage of a charged particle. Optical data provides indirect evidence that collective effects occur in liquids. Direct observation of their existence is substantiated in studies of the energy distribution of electrons specularly scattered from the liquid surface.
