Splashing of Large Helium Nanodroplets Upon Surface Collisions Open
In the present work we observe that helium nanodroplets colliding with surfaces can exhibit splashing in a way that is analogous to classical liquids. We use transmission electron microscopy and mass spectrometry to demonstrate that neutra…

Chemistry and physics of dopants embedded in helium droplets Open
Helium droplets represent a cold inert matrix, free of walls with outstanding properties to grow complexes and clusters at conditions that are perfect to simulate cold and dense regions of the interstellar medium. At sub‐Kelvin temperature…

SF<sub>6</sub><sup>+</sup>: Stabilizing Transient Ions in Helium Nanodroplets Open
There are myriad ions that are deemed too short-lived to be experimentally accessible. One of them is SF6+. It has never been observed, although not for lack of trying. We demonstrate that long-lived SF6

Electronic transitions in Rb2+ dimers solvated in helium Open
We have measured depletion spectra of the heteronuclear ( 85 Rb 87 Rb + ) dimer cation complexed with up to 10 He atoms. Two absorption bands are observed between 920 and 250 nm. The transition into the repulsive 1 2 Σ u + state of HeRb 2 …

On the stability of neon cluster ions – Evidence for isomeric structures Open
We have adopted the newly developed technique of growing cationic clusters in size-to-charge selected helium nanodroplets (HNDs), with subsequent removal of helium in a collision cell, to record high-resolution mass spectra of Nen+. Growth…

An intense source for cold cluster ions of a specific composition Open
The demand for nanoscale materials of ultra-high purity and narrow size distribution is addressed. Clusters of Au, C60, H2O, and serine are produced inside helium nanodroplets using a combination of ionization, mass filtering, collisions w…

Ionization of large helium nanodroplets Open
Synopsis We have produced and mass-selected large, highly charged helium droplets containing up to 10 10 He atoms and several tens of charges. They are stable with both multiple positive and negative charge carriers and are stabilized by l…

Highly Charged Droplets of Superfluid Helium Open
We report on the production and study of stable, highly charged droplets of superfluid helium. Using a novel experimental setup we produce neutral beams of liquid helium nanodroplets containing millions of atoms or more that can be ionized…
