The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley, received a $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program. Under this 3-year award, the UC Berkeley research team led by Professor Daniel Neumark will use time-resolved extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photoelectron spectroscopy to study the relaxation and dissociation dynamics of photoexcited anionic and neutral solutes in liquid jets. The experiments aim to provide insights into the photochemical stability of molecules like DNA constituents and monitor the competition between relaxation and dissociation processes in iodine-containing species. This work has the potential to significantly advance the capabilities of photoelectron spectroscopy for investigating chemical dynamics and solvent effects in the condensed phase. The project will also support research opportunities for graduate students, undergraduates, and postdoctoral scholars, contributing to the development of a diverse scientific workforce.
