A new method is presented for recording excitation spectra of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets. The method relies on the complete evaporation of the droplets following excitation of a dissolved molecule and the subsequent detection of the remaining unsolvated molecule by mass...

The excited state dynamics of silver atoms embedded in helium nanodroplets have been investigated by a variety of spectroscopic techniques. The experiments reveal that 5p 2P1/2 <- 5s 2S1/2 excitation of embedded silver atoms results almost exclusively in the ejection of silver atoms populating...

The photoionization dynamics of aniline doped helium droplets has been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy. The photoelectron spectra resemble closely that of gas phase aniline, except for a dropletsize- dependent shift. This shift is caused by lowering of the ionization threshold upon...
