Fully retarded van der Waals interaction between dielectric nanoclusters
The van der Waals (dispersion) interaction between an atom and a cluster or between two clusters at large separation is calculated by considering each cluster as a point particle, characterized by a p...

Fluorescence spectroscopy of jet-cooled chiral (±)-indan-1-ol and its cluster with (±)-methyl- and ethyl-lactate
The laser-induced fluorescence excitation, dispersed fluorescence, and IR-UV double resonance spectra of chiral (±)-indan-1-ol have been measured in a supersonic expansion. Three low energy con...

We have studied gas-phase collisions between slow electrons and uracil molecules with a view to understanding the resonance structure of the scattering cross section. Oursymmetry-resolved results for elastic scattering, computed in the fixed-nuclei, static-exchange and static-exchange-plus-polarization approximations, provide locations for the expected pi* shape resonances and indicate the possible presence of a low-energy sigma* resonance as well. Electron-impact excitation calculations were carried out for low-lying triplet and singlet excitation channels and yield a very large singlet cross section. We discuss the connection between the resonances found in our elastic cross section and features observed in dissociative attachment. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
