Applying Ghost Imaging x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the electronic structure of the biologically significant molecule PENNA

POSTER

Abstract

We demonstrate the use of the spectral-domain ghost imaging technique to study electron structure of 2-phenylethyl-N,N-dimethylamine (PENNA), a biologically significant molecule due to functioning as a neurotransmitter precursor. This method correlates the single-shot x-ray and photoelectron spectra to reconstruct the spectral response of the molecule with sub bandwidth resolution. We show that we can distinguish the chemical shift of the nitrogen 1s orbital in a mixture of molecular nitrogen and PENNA. We apply this technique to time-resolved measurements in UV ionized PENNA to observe charge transfer between the amine and phenyl groups.
