Abstract
Helium nanodroplets are ideal model systems to unravel the complex interaction of condensed matter with ionizing radiation. Here we study the effect of purely elastic electron scattering on angular and energy distributions of photoelectrons emitted from He nanodroplets of variable size (10-109 atoms per droplets). For large droplets, photoelectrons develop a pronounced anisotropy along the incident light beam due to a shadowing effect within the droplets. In contrast, the detected photoelectron spectra are only weakly perturbed. This opens up possibilities for photoelectron spectroscopy of dopants embedded in droplets provided they are smaller than the penetration depth of the light and the trapping range of emitted electrons in liquid helium.
