What Does ZEKE Stand For?

ZEKE stands for Zero Electron Kinetic Energy

ZEKE, or Zero Electron Kinetic Energy, is a spectroscopy technique used in physical chemistry and molecular physics to investigate the electronic states of molecules. By measuring the ionization energies of molecules while minimizing the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, ZEKE provides high-resolution insights into molecular structures, dynamics, and interactions. This method is particularly valuable for studying transient species and understanding fundamental chemical processes.
