Fano interference and cross-section fluctuations in molecular photodissociation [PDF]
We derive an expression for the total photodissociation cross section of a molecule incorporating both indirect processes that proceed through excited resonances, and direct processes. We show that this cross section exhibits generalized Beutler-Fano line shapes in the limit of isolated resonances.

Photo‐Induced Bandgap Engineering of Metal Halide Perovskite Quantum Dots In Flow
This work presents a photochemical synthetic route for bandgap engineering of metal halide perovskite quantum dots. Utilizing a material‐efficient microfluidic platform, the underlying mechanism of the photo‐induced anion exchange reaction (PIAER) of metal halide perovskite quantum dots is unveiled and first instance of the PIAER‐enabled synthesis of ...

Ab initio Study of Ground-State CS Photodissociation Via Highly Excited Electronic States [PDF]
Photodissociation by ultraviolet radiation is the key destruction pathway for CS in photon-dominated regions, such as diffuse clouds. However, the large uncertainties of photodissociation cross sections and rates of CS, resulting from a lack of both laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations, limit the accuracy of calculated abundances of S ...

Mechanisms for the Near-UV Photodissociation of CH$_3$I on D$_2$O/Cu(110) [PDF]
The system of CH$_3$I adsorbed on submonolayer, monolayer and multilayer thin films of D$_2$O on Cu(110) has been studied by measuring the time-of-flight (TOF) distributions of the desorbing CH$_3$ fragments after photodissociation using linearly polarized $\lambda$=248nm light.

The efficiency of photodissociation for molecules in interstellar ices [PDF]
Processing by interstellar photons affects the composition of the icy mantles on interstellar grains. The rate of photodissociation in solids differs from that of molecules in the gas phase. The aim of this work was to determine an average, general ratio between photodissociation coefficients for molecules in ice and gas.
