WG1: Selective bond cleavage by electron induced dissociation

Abstract

The main aim of this WG will be to identify suitable molecular targets for use in Electron Controlled Chemical Lithography. In particular;

  1. Studies of the energy dependence of fragmentation patterns in low energy electron interactions with different molecular ‘families’ in the gaseous phase.
  2. An exploration of methods that will sensitize specific molecular sites to DEA by the introduction of groups such as the halogens, CF3 -, CF3(CF2)n-O-, C6F5- or other suitable groups.
  3. A study of the response of such molecular systems when coupled with other molecular species, e.g. in mixed clusters or within larger biomolecules (eg ogliomers).
  4. Application of fully ab-initio theoretical models to describe such electron interactions and suggest targets for experimental investigations.
