Double- and multi-slit interference in photodetachment from nanometer organic molecular anions
1Department of Chemistry, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA.
Abstract:
We present the predictions of double-slit and multislit interference of photoelectrons from a nanometer-size molecular negative ion. The interference clearly appears in both photoelectron angular distributions and photodetachment cross sections. In contrast to the diatomic photoelectron interference via the X-ray photon, the interference in the nanometer-size negative ions can be readily observed via a visible or extreme ultraviolet laser. Therefore, the phenomenon can be realized on a table-top setup, instead of a large accelerator.

RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
