Control of small water clusters — •Helen Bieker1,2, Daniel Horke1,2, Daniel Gusa1, and Jochen Küpper1,2,31Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, DESY — 2The Hamburg Center for Ultrafast Imaging, University of Hamburg — 3Department of Physics, University of Hamburg

To unravel the microscopic details of intermolecular interactions in water, we prepare controlled samples of size- and isomer-selected water clusters. The spatial separation of neutral molecules can be achieved using inhomogeneous electric fields, allowing us to create pure samples of individual structural isomers or of size-selected clusters and to disperse molecules in a beam according to their quantum states [1].

Here, we aim to develop an understanding of the structures of water clusters containing a few monomer units. We present our first results on the production of size-selected samples using supersonic expansions and subsequent dispersion of the various clusters in strong electric fields, extending previous studies [2]. Future experiments aim at utilizing x-ray and electron diffractive imaging to study the structures and the ultrafast dissociation/fragmentation dynamics of these polymolecular systems.
