The technique probed specific states of vinylidene by
ejecting electrons with varying energies from a negative ion precursor.
First, the pulses would
eject electrons from a helium gas target.
The researchers applied electrical pulses to
eject electrons from the first layer of gallium arsenide and into the second layer.
Photons that happen to interact with an inner shell of a xenon atom
eject electrons from that shell and ionize the atom.
The ejected electron was detected by the infrared laser pulse as soon as it left the atom in response to the excitation by XUV light.
Once a photon has
ejected an electron from a helium atom, it is possible to calculate the probable position of the remaining electron.
Plotting the energies and momenta of
the ejected electrons tells researchers how they were behaving when they were inside the material.
The specific bacterium used in Bren's project was Shewanella oneidensis MR - 1, which consumes toxic heavy metal ions in the wastewater and
ejects electrons.

«When the light hits molecules in Titan's ionosphere, it
ejects negatively charged
electrons out of the hydrocarbon and nitrile molecules, leaving a positively charged particle behind.
But when the sun
ejects major blasts of particles in flares and solar storms, these belts overflow and send
electrons streaming toward Earth along the looping lines of the magnetic field, which intersect the planet near the north and south poles.
Or, that Lise Meitner (1934) was the first to describe how outer - shell
electrons were
ejected after gamma ray bombardment of an atom.
We measured a delay between
electrons ejected forward and backward, which depends on the ejection angle and reaches 24 attoseconds.
Using a technique called angle - resolved photoemission spectroscopy (left), the researchers measured the energy and momentum of
electrons as they were
ejected from the cadmium arsenide.
After the interaction of a xenon atom with two photons from an attosecond pulse (purple), the atom is ionized and multiple
electrons (green balls) are
ejected.
Light can also be scattered: The surface
electrons can grab the photon's energy and then
eject a photon of the same wavelength, which is how you see pretty much everything that doesn't emit light on its own.
Regardless of the mode of energy transfer, one
electron is
ejected from the helium atom.
This is because the one
electron that is
ejected from the photolyase first causes a break in the chemical bond on the near side of the dimer, but then travels around its outer edge to cause the second break.
