Photoionization Mass Spectrometry And Photoelectron-Photoion Coincidence (Pepico) Spectroscopy Studies Of Select Biofuel Molecules, Joseph G. Czekner
Photoionization Mass Spectrometry And Photoelectron-Photoion Coincidence (Pepico) Spectroscopy Studies Of Select Biofuel Molecules, Joseph G. Czekner
Master's Theses
This thesis is the culmination of numerous experiments, performed on two different continents, investigating the spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of several biofuels and fuel additives. It will start with an introduction about the motivation behind these experiments. The second chapter will outline the experimental details of the apparatus at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley, CA, followed by the Swiss Light Source (SLS) in Villigen, Switzerland. Third, the theoretical concepts and data analysis methods will be discussed in detail.
Chapter 4 will be the start of the newly obtained data. It presents some photoionization mass spectrometry studies on γ-valerolactone …
