Velocity Map Imaging VUV Angle-Resolved Photoemission
on Isolated Nanosystems: Case of Gold Nanoparticles
Posted on 2020-10-23 - 03:16
We
present an angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study on
isolated gold nanoparticles in the photon energy range between 6 and
12 eV performed at the DESIRS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL with
a velocity map imaging spectrometer. The data are reported for polydisperse
gold aerosols formed from hydrocolloids of bare and citrate-capped
primary nanoparticles. The aerosols were brought to interact with
the synchrotron radiation via a high-performance aerodynamic lens
system developed for this study. The electronic structure of the aerosols
was elucidated by threshold photoemission spectroscopy, which showed
excellent agreement with the theoretical density of states. The photoionization
cross sections of isolated gold particles were derived in the ∼104 to 106 Mb range between 8 and 12 eV. We introduce
a new methodology to extract all of the photoemission observables
from the electron images as a function of electron energy, including
photoelectron spectrum, anisotropy parameter b2, and asymmetry parameter, α(E), which
describes the shadowing asymmetry along the radiation propagation
axis. The results show that electron energy distribution depends on
the procedure used in the synthesis of the nanoparticles and on the
ligand concentration. The dependence of the asymmetry parameter on
electron energy along the valence band is rationalized through theoretical
modeling in terms of the electric field distribution inside the particle
and the losses due to inelastic scattering.
