Spectroscopy of AuS Three previous experimental studies undertaken on the AuS anion via photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) have been reported. Theoretically a number of papers have been reported primarily on the ground state or couple to understanding the PES results. The most recent two studies by Wang, who with the combination of experiment and theory were able to confirm the previous experimental results, in addition to determining the excitation energy to a number of low lying electronic states in the neutral in addition to vibrational properties.
