Title: Alignment, orientation, and Coulomb explosion of difluoroiodobenzene studied with the pixel imaging mass spectrometry (PImMS) camera

Abstract

Laser-induced adiabatic alignment and mixed-field orientation of 2,6-difluoroiodobenzene (C6H3F2I) molecules are probed by Coulomb explosion imaging following either near-infrared strong-field ionization or extreme-ultraviolet multi-photon inner-shell ionization using free-electron laser pulses. The resulting photoelectrons and fragment ions are captured by a double-sided velocity map imaging spectrometer and projected onto two position-sensitive detectors. The ion side of the spectrometer is equipped with a pixel imaging mass spectrometry camera, a time-stamping pixelated detector that can record the hit positions and arrival times of up to four ions per pixel per acquisition cycle. Thus, the time-of-flight trace and ion momentum distributions for all fragments can be recorded simultaneously. Finally, we show that we can obtain a high degree of one-and three-dimensional alignment and mixed-field orientation and compare the Coulomb explosion process induced at both wavelengths

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Experimental setup showing the pulsed molecular beam with the electrostatic deflector, the laser beam paths of the alignment and probe lasers, and the double-sided velocity map imaging spectrometer used to simultaneously image the recoil velocities of both the ions and electrons from the molecule. The ions were detectedmore » with an MCP and a fast P47 phosphor screen detector coupled with a PImMS1 camera. The electrons were detected with an MCP and a P20 phosphor screen detector coupled with a commercial CCD camera but are not discussed further in this paper. Typical ion and electron images are shown on the right. A model of the 2,6-DFIB molecule is shown on the top left, with the direction of the molecule’s electric dipole moment depicted by a black arrow.« less
