25. From core to valence states: a comprehensive experimental and theoretical photoelectron spectroscopy study of proteinogenic amino acids

Shiyang (Ann) Lu

Oral

Amino acids (AAs) are fundamental building blocks of life. In the solid state, AAs are of considerable scientific and technological interest due to their widespread use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Despite this, most spectroscopy studies focus on gas-phase species or surface adsorbates, while crystalline AAs remain underexplored, largely because of experimental challenges...
