The electronic processes responsible for charge transport and electroluminescence in multilayered organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are very sensitive to the properties of the organic heterojunction. In particular, the height of the energy barrier affe ...
L2,3 x-ray absorption spectra of aq. [RuII(bpy)3]2+ were recorded in its ground and excited states, 50 ps after short pulse laser excitation. Significant changes in both the XANES (x-ray Near-Edge Absorption Structure) and the EXAFS (Extended x-ray Absorpt ...
Electronic structure changes are at the origin of the making, breaking and transformation of bonds. These changes can be visualized by measuring the geometric structure in "real-time" during the course of a chemical reaction, a biological function or a phy ...
To better understand the complex photophysics of the amino acid tryptophan, which is widely used as a probe of protein structure and dynamics, we have measured electronic spectra of protonated, gas-phase tryptophan solvated with a controlled number of wate ...
