Tribute to W. Carl Lineberger

Pinning down the many research accomplishments andbehind-the-scenes impact of Carl Lineberger is no easy task.Those who have worked with Carl, for example, know well tolisten carefully when he modestly shares his “child-like view”regarding some aspect of science or strategy, as that is whenyou are most likely to gain the deepest insights into how thingsreally work. Carl has an uncanny knack for unraveling the subtleprinciples that organize complex phenomena at all levels ofendeavor. It is as if there are actually two independent, equallyresourceful personalities at work, each of which being capableof solving incredibly delicate, impossibly difficult problems thatgo straight to the heart of the matter. We consider first hisresearch persona, where his trajectory includes laying thefoundation of an entire field of chemistry that exploits the uniqueproperties of negative ions to determine chemical reactiondynamics, molecular structure, and thermochemistry. This aspectof his work includes determination of the electron affinities ofthe elements, data which today appear in virtually everyfreshman chemistry textbook.

Carl’s singular research accomplishments derive from hisunusual combination of expertise in chemistry and physicstogether with mastery of engineering, which enabled him toattack new classes of chemical problems with his signature blendof elegance and precision. His name is associated with everyimportant paradigm in the field of negative ion spectroscopy.

These successes started in the early 1970s with the thresholdlaws and atomic physics of photodetachment. His two-prongedapproach of using ultra high-resolution, mass-resolved electronphotodetachment complemented by photoelectron spectroscopyhas proven extraordinarily productive over the past forty years.

It is essential to emphasize that Lineberger has contributedmuch more than experimental techniques. Once he develops amethod, he immediately exploits it to broaden and deepen ourunderstanding of chemistry. In one example, he demonstratedhow to use photoelectron spectroscopy to generally measuresinglet-triplet splittings in organic molecules. This followedan earlier study in which he extended photodetachment fromexcitation of continua to include the first high-resolutionspectrum of a molecular anion (C2

-). The latter study wasquintessentially “Lineberger” in that he obtained the spectrumusing a resonant two-photon (R2PI) scheme where the firstphoton excited the molecule to a bound electronically excitedstate and the second photon ejected the electron, which couldbe detected with great sensitivity. Five years later, this effectwas rediscovered by physical chemists who fell head-over-heelsfor multiphoton ionization spectroscopy (MPI) of neutrals. Hehas also shown how to use electron affinities, in conjunctionwith other measurements to establish the sequential bondenergies for the decomposition of simple organic molecules,one bond at a time, by all paths! Starting in the 1980s, he

pioneered the application of ultrafast pump-probe methods tosize-selected cluster beams to establish how a precisely con-trolled number of solvent molecules affects the photodissociationdynamics of a diatomic anion. Having started with the simpleatomic anions so many years ago, these ongoing “cage-recombination” experiments reveal how solvent moleculescontrol the dynamics of a chemical reaction. Very recent resultsin this aspect of his program have established that addition ofas few as two solvent molecules (CO2) can facilitate IBr-

recombination following excitation of the molecular ion to anominally repulsive electronic state.

A particularly impressive display of Carl’s combination ofinsight and technical virtuosity is his demonstration of hownegative ion photoelectron spectroscopy can be used to directlymeasure the shape of the potential surface in the transition stateregion of an isomerization (vinylidene f acetylene) reaction.This experimental approach anticipated the revolution in wave-packet techniques to study reaction dynamics and was instru-mental in paving the way for elegant determinations of transitionstate spectra for neutral bimolecular reaction encounters. Fol-lowing his lead, researchers around the world now form a largecommunity continuing to reap the rewards made available byapplying Lineberger’s methods.

We now turn to the second aspect of Carl’s impact: his pivotalrole in maintaining physical science as a healthy and centralcomponent of the contemporary research portfolio. His uniquestyle of understatement in the delivery of persuasive argumentshas made his voice among the most influential at the highestlevels, especially through his many projects at the NationalAcademy of Sciences involving oversight of science policy andpersonnel. Carl has not shied away from contentious issues. Onthe contrary, he seems drawn to them because their resolutionis key to progress when there are many conflicting opinionsabout how to best distribute limited resources. Carl’s legendary

work behind the scenes rivals his substantial contributions inbasic science, and he is an inspiring role model on effectiveleadership while minimizing unnecessary conflict.

Over the years, Carl Lineberger has been a constant sourceof wisdom and enthusiasm for research at the core of physicalchemistry. His presence at a scientific meeting elevates its staturewith his acute questions during formal symposia, but equallywell in the corridors where much of the real information isexchanged. One of the aspects that we have particularly enjoyedis his ability to communicate what he thinks is “hot” and why.This, in part, explains his unchallenged leadership of the field.It is always refreshing to bounce a new idea off of Linebergersince you know his reaction will genuinely reflect his razor sharpintuition about how chemistry works. When you interact withCarl, you have the unmistakable feeling that you are dealingwith someone who understands molecular physics at a profoundlevel. He makes sense out of chaos, and that ability inspiresconfidence among his co-workers. The many and varied papersin this collection are testimony to Carl’s wide ranging interestsand overall impact on our field. Together with an internationalgroup of colleagues and co-workers, we wish Carl Linebergercontinued success, and offer our thanks for his gracious andeffective leadership, for his pioneering research achievements,and for his insights on future directions that continue to shapeour collective scientific adventure.

Autobiography of W. Carl Lineberger

I was born in Hamlet, North Carolina, on December 5, 1939.I was the only child of Caleb Henry and Evelyn Pelot CooperLineberger. My father worked for the then Seaboard Railroad(now part of CSX). My mother, after a period teachingelementary school, was a full-time mother and homemaker. Myfather was the first member of his family to earn a college degree(civil engineering, Clemson University,1929 s a bad year tolook for a job). My mother was among the first of her family toattend any college at all. While my parents were by no meansacademic or scholarly, education was a highly valued asset,viewed by them as the only path to a better life. My father’sfamily immigrated to North Carolina in the 1850s, with part ofthe family going into railroading and the other part going intothe textile industry. My mother’s family came from FrenchHuguenots who had immigrated to the south sometime earlier.With the railroad tradition of frequent moves, I lived inCharleston, South Carolina, from 1941 until 1947 when myfather was transferred to Tampa, Florida. I remained there until1957 when I began college.

My parents definitely knew the value of providing stimulatingitems for a child to play with. At age six or seven, my fatherbrought home a collection of electrical junk from the railroad:old hand-cranked telephone generators, wires, buzzers, bells,some light bulbs, and a few batteries. He suggested I play withthese, and I discovered the fascination of seeing sparks fly, lightslight up, or bells ring when I turned a crank. This began a longinterest in electricity. I then found the materials to build a crystalradio and was unbelievably proud to find that I could hear radiostations on something that I had built out of junk. After movingto Tampa, my interest in radio led me to become an amateurradio operator at age ten, and I remained very active as a hamoperator (W4YLL) through age 16. During this time, I learnedthe completely empirical art of building instruments withoutknowledge. I passed the electronics examination and the Morsecode speed test required for my amateur radio operator’s license.The electronics examination required the use of algebra, but Ipassed it without any mathematics training, and with nounderstanding of what Ohm’s Law meant. I could solvemoderately complex electrical circuit problems, but I had noidea what I was doing. In any event, the amateur radio interestled me to designing and building high power transmitters,receivers, and large directed array antenna systems so that Icould communicate via Morse code with other amateur radiooperators around the world. One of my proudest achievementswas propagating a multibounce 14 MHz radio signal essentiallyaround the earth. I computed the path length by the time delayof the weak echo of my transmission. It was at this point thatI decided, at age 12, that a career in electrical engineering waswhat I wished. Based on this mature observation, I decided Iwould go to Georgia Tech, and major in Electrical Engineering.I even knew who my roommate would be. Amazingly, all ofthese things actually happened.

Toward the end of the ham radio activity, I decided it wastime to do more outdoor things, and I went through Cub andBoy Scouts. At around age 13, I completed the requirementsfor Eagle Scout Rank. Typical of too many of the things that Idid at that time, upon completion of my Eagle Scout goal, Isimply lost interest in the activity.

My interest in chemistry began when I was in high school. Ihad a terrible teacher for high school chemistry, but he reallydid not seem to want me in the class anyway. The result wasthat we both agreed that it would be much better if I simplyspent class time in the chemistry laboratory by myself andattended class only to take exams. This arrangement workedout beautifully, except for a few minor explosive events. Itcertainly drove my interest in chemistry enormously. Theculmination of my high school chemistry experience was to puton a demonstration for a major parent-teacher meeting held inthe high school auditorium. The school allowed me completefreedom (unheard of today) to assemble demonstrations. Amongother things, I carried out a large scale thermite reaction thatleft some burn marks on the very high ceiling of the auditorium.It was quite impressive. Other early chemistry experienceincluded appropriately coating some of the hallways of my highschool with nitrogen tri-iodide late at night, and then watchingwith great delight the explosive results as the building wasoccupied the next morning. I was never caught.

My last two years in high school were spent developing ascience fair project. At this point, no teachers were interestedin working with me, so I was totally on my own. I read afascinating article1 by Erwin Muller in Scientific American.Using high-field He+ ion emission from an atomically sharptungsten tip, he obtained an emission image of the needle tipthat clearly resolved individual tungsten atoms. I had neverimagined that one might be able to see “directly” our atomicworld. Seeing his images of individual atoms was a life-changingexperience for me. I immediately set out to build a He+ fieldion emission microscope for my science fair project. Theelectronics, tip preparation, and phosphor screen preparation alllooked straightforward to me. They could be made with thekind of junk that I kept in my bedroom. The required high-vacuum system was another matter, however. My parentsdecided that they had no choice but to humor me. Over thenext six months, they drove me over much of the state of Floridain search of vacuum components that I could beg, borrow, orsteal. About two weeks before the science fair, I had to facereality and admit that my project would not be complete in time,if ever. I quickly switched to something much simpler, albeitless interesting, less likely to be rewarded, but achievable in ashort time. Falling back to my radio experience, I built a small,near-infrared transmitter/ receiver and demonstrated relativelyhigh quality music transmission over a modest distance. I usedcollimated infrared radiation that could not be seen. No big prizefor this project. This whole science fair process was a primeexample of a circumstance in which informed mentoring wouldhave been invaluable. There was precious little evidence that Iwould have accepted advice, however.

By the time I arrived at Georgia Tech, I was beginning tohave serious misgivings about a career as an electrical engineer.With my usual sophistication, I had read the titles of all of thecourses that were in the electrical engineering curriculum(Circuit Theory, Electricity and Magnetism, Antennas, and thelike) and decided that these courses could teach me nothing,because I could already build all of these things. This greatnaıvete was not good, but it seems to continue. So I thought Iwould become either a chemistry or physics major at GeorgiaTech. However, I quickly discovered that the physics and

chemistry courses had essentially no mathematics for the firsttwo years. In contrast, electrical engineering courses requiredthe use of calculus in the first year and differential equations inthe second year. I followed my mathematical love and becamean electrical engineer.

However, the choice of an electrical engineering major ledindirectly to my first remarkable experience in chemistry, onethat would shape the rest of my career. With all of the othercourses I was taking, I could only enroll in the most basicgeneral chemistry class as an entering freshman. This large classwas taught by a person who turned out to be a wonderfulinspiration for me, a young assistant professor named PeterSherry. At the end of the first examination in this rather boringclass, Peter asked me to come to his office. He told me I waswasting my time in his class. He then said that he would likeme and two other students to stop attending class, and insteadmeet with him three evenings a week to learn physicalchemistry. These meetings continued for a year, in lieu of takinggeneral chemistry. It was an unforgettable experience, andundoubtedly launched me on my present course. Peter had asimilar effect on another freshman student one year later: BillMiller. This is of course the Bill Miller of Berkeley. A quantumchemist, Peter Sherry was never widely known or appreciated,but he truly was a remarkable, dedicated, and inspiring educator.

As I continued my undergraduate education, I tried to followmy father’s advice: get a degree in engineering, followed by aMaster’s degree from a business school (Wharton was hischoice), and also be very involved in extracurricular activitieson campus. I did just this for my first three years at GeorgiaTech, filling every hour with activities that left no time to learnanything. I was fully on the advised track. However, in the lastquarter of my junior year, I took a class called “The PhysicalBasis for Electrical Engineering” taught spectacularly by a newfaculty member, John Hooper. This class brought back theexcitement generated years earlier by the Muller paper and ledme back to my true scientific love, an atomistic understandingof nature.

The ensuing change in plans resulted in my canceling all ofmy extracurricular activities and taking a full-time job at theGeorgia Tech Engineering Experimental Station (Georgia Techequivalent of MIT’s Lincoln Laboratories). I began independentwork on a project to evaluate the electrical, thermal, cohesive,and corrosion-resistance properties of tungsten and gold thinmetal films for use in the electronics industry. This very appliedproject was funded by the Western Electric Company (procure-ment wing of the AT&T/Bell Laboratories complex). I finallygot to build and use the vacuum system that I coveted for myfailed high school science fair project. Several not veryinteresting technical reports resulted from this work. Moreimportantly, I learned the joy of working in a laboratoryenvironment. I also finally recognized the complete futility ofmy proposed science fair project. One amusing sidebar fromthat time is that a high pressure sputter apparatus developed inthat laboratory2 was eventually modified to become our work-horse source of metal cluster and metal oxide anions.3,4

The job at the engineering experimental station and a fullcourse load kept me busy during my senior year. I began tothink about graduate school and decided to stay at Georgia Techto obtain a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, workingwith John Hooper and his Ph.D. Advisor, Earl McDaniel,Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics. This decisionwas motivated in part because my fiance, Aileen Jeffries, neededtwo more years to finish her B.S. in Physics at EmoryUniversity. Georgia Tech did not admit women at that time.

As it turned out, graduate study at Georgia Tech was a verygood decision, and I ended up completing my Ph.D. there,jointly advised by John and Earl.

I was a graduate student from 1961 through 1964, and it wasa wonderful experience. I was placed in an empty laboratory inElectrical Engineering, and John and Earl set out to develop anew research program for me. They insisted upon my participa-tion from the beginning. We collectively designed an electron-ion crossed-beam apparatus. I contributed to a proposal to OakRidge National Laboratory to construct this apparatus and toobtain absolute cross sections for electron impact ionization ofalkali cations. This work would support fast ion diagnostics forthe laboratory’s thermonuclear fusion research program. Theproposal was funded, in spite of one referee who pointed outthat my mass spectrometer was a pure electrostatic device andsurely we knew that electrostatic fields did not separatemonocharged ions by mass. In spite of undergraduate courses,I really had no clue that the proposed device could not work.In any event, a complete crossed-beam apparatus was con-structed and used to measure absolute electron impact ionizationcross sections for Li+, Na+, and K+ ions from threshold to 1keV. I worked very hard to determine quantitatively the errorbars on the absolute cross sections that we measured. I feltconfident that all systematic and statistical effects had beenproperly assessed. To my dismay, reviewers stated that theexperimental results were very impressive but our claimed errorbars surely represented a lower bound to the actual errors inthe measurement. We made no changes to the manuscript, andit turned out that our error analysis was correct and even a bitconservative. However, a sense of paranoia over errors persistseven now, and everyone in my group knows my belief that ameasurement without definable errors is of little value, as ittests nothing, not even the existence of the claimed products.This trait is part of why our initial measurement of the methylenesinglet-triplet splitting was taken seriously, and why the factthat our result was eventually shown to be incorrect wassomewhat embarrassing. However, I do take pride that our fullanalysis of the initial methylene Communication stated that thepresence of vibrationally hot anions with a state distributionthat we could not alter experimentally would invalidate ourconclusion.

Returning to graduate school issues, there were many otherlessons learned from Earl and John. Not the least of which wasthe concept that scientists should cooperate in their quest fornew knowledge. The following story shows one way Earl drovethis point home with me.

When we were preparing the proposal to make the electron-ion crossed beam measurements, only one other group in theworld had succeeded in making such a machine work, that ofKen Dolder and Mike Harrison at Harwell Laboratories in theUnited Kingdom. They had published one paper on electronionization of He+, but I thought that our proposed machine hadsome design advantages that would serve us well. One yearinto my construction phase, Earl told me that he had learnedthat Dolder had moved to Newcastle from Harwell and wasinitiating a study of the alkali ion reactions that would comprisemy Thesis. He further noted that Dolder was having difficultymaking intense beams of alkali cations and that my alkali ionsource was clearly superior. He then told me that he hoped thatI would be willing to send Dolder drawings for my thermionicion source, and send him samples of the zeolites that were theion emitters. He told me that such cooperation was what sciencewas really about. It was with considerable uncertainty andtrepidation that I complied with his request, for I feared that

1228 J. Phys. Chem. A, Vol. 114, No. 3, 2010

Page 6: JPCAFH JANUARY 28, 2010 THE JOURNAL OF VOLUMe 114 … · what I wished. Based on this mature observation, I decided I would go to Georgia Tech, and major in Electrical Engineering

Dolder would now complete his measurements before I com-pleted mine. As these measurements were intended to constitutethe entirety of my Ph.D. Thesis, I was pretty nervous.

As it turned out, the difficulties associated with Dolder’srelocation were even greater than expected, and our results werepublished two years ahead of him. The obvious lesson has reallystuck with me, and speaks volumes about Earl.

About midway through my time in graduate school, Earl toldme about a new type of institute that had just started as apartnership between the National Bureau of Standards (NBS)and the University of Colorado. The institute was called JILA,and it was associated with the Astrophysics, Aerospace Engi-neering, Chemistry, and Physics Departments at the university.After reading a bit about JILA, I decided that I would like totake a postdoctoral position there, working with one of the JILAfounders, Lewis Branscomb. This actually happened, and I wasscheduled to arrive at the same time as another newly mintedPh.D., Dick Zare. Dick planned to go to JILA for a postdoctoralposition working with Gordon Dunn on photodissociation ofions. I had already heard of Dick and was looking forward tointeracting with him. Fate intervened in the form of myobligation to the US Army, and my arrival at JILA was delayed3.5 years, until August 1968. By then, Dick had completed hisshort JILA postdoctoral position, become a faculty member atMIT, returned to JILA as a faculty member in Chemistry andPhysics, and decided to go to Columbia as a named Professor.The result was that Dick and I overlapped at Colorado for onlya short period. Nevertheless, Dick became a wonderful col-league, advisor, and great friend. Virtually every night of theweek, he and I would be the last two persons remaining in theJILA building. The instrument shops were locked at night, but,as a faculty member, Dick had keys that opened all doors. Along-lasting bond was formed in that empty building.

Three months after I arrived in JILA, it was announced thatLew Branscomb would leave JILA and become the Director ofNBS in Washington. This was not a complete surprise, as Iknew of several universities (including Georgia Tech) that wereconsidering him for President. When Lew left, I stayed on asthe senior person in his group of two. This gave me a wonderfulopportunity to develop independence and to move from thereally hard planned experiment to a much easier experimentusing Peter Sorokin’s new device, a flashlamp-pumped tunabledye laser. Boulder colleagues Jan Hall, Don Jennings, and ArtSchmeltekopf were unbelievably generous with their knowledgeand designs; in a matter of a couple of weeks, we had the firsthigh-resolution tunable-laser photodetachment apparatus pro-ducing results. With this background, I was very fortunate thatthe Department of Chemistry at the University of Coloradooffered me a tenure track position. I very happily accepted theoffer. It is clear that several people, including Dick Zare, EldonFerguson, and some others, had played a role in convincingthe Department of Chemistry to hire an electrical engineer. Ijoined the faculty in August 1970, and my long-time colleagueand friend Casey Hynes arrived the following January.

As a new faculty member, I was totally absorbed in work,and Aileen decided that this was not the life she had plannedto live. Our marriage ended in 1971. In the late 1970s, however,something happened that I thought would never happen. I metsomeone who was as dedicated to her work as I was to mine.Moreover, she viewed my ridiculous behavior as almostadmirable. We were married on July 31, 1979, and Kitty

Edwards has been my constant support. Without her in my life,so many important things would never have happened.

I have been exceptionally fortunate to have worked with anoutstanding group of students, postdoctoral associates, andColorado colleagues. Our experiences have been further enrichedby the large number of you who have joined with us, visitingfrom other universities, or collaborating from afar. I cannotacknowledge the essential contributions made by all of youwhose names appear at the end of this Introduction, nor can Ibear to omit any of you. Given this unsolvable dilemma, I giveup and simply give explicit recognition to those of you whoare “Colorado” locals. Bill Reinhardt and Steve Leone standout as early and vital colleagues who played key roles in shapingphysical chemistry at Colorado and JILA. Their departures fromColorado left a gaping hole in our programs. Fortunately,outstanding scientists from their groups joined the Chemistry/JILA faculty: Barney Ellison, David Nesbitt, and Rex Skodje.All of these people have been and remain wonderful friends,collaborators, and colleagues. Veronica Bierbaum has been avital collaborator for many years, and has truly enriched ourscience. Robert Parson has provided theoretical support, intel-lectual guidance, and joint students to us, and his contributionshave been truly essential as we have become involved withlarger cluster anions. Chuck DePuy has been an invaluablecollaborator and chemical guide; he has forgotten more chem-istry that I ever knew, and, as best I can tell, he forgets nothing.Veronica Vaida was always available to offer advice andvaluable insights. Ralph Jimenez tries hard, but unsuccessfully,to educate me on the latest ultrafast laser technologies. Finally,I note that the newest Colorado physical chemist, Mathias Weberalmost completes the circle. Mathias received his Ph.D. atKaiserslautern with my first postdoctoral associate, HartmutHotop, had a postdoctoral appointment with Mark Johnson atYale, and then joined the Chemistry Department and JILA herein Boulder.

A fair amount of my time has been involved with scientistsin JILA with whom I have had no formal collaborations, butwho are always there to listen to ideas, to loan equipment, tooffer thoughtful suggestions, and to be concerned with the healthof the Institute. I especially note the important roles played byJinks Cooper, Carl Wieman, Dick McCray, Eric Cornell, DebbieJin, Jun Ye, Judah Levine, and Jan Hall.

Any recognition of important roles in shaping my path wouldbe dramatically incomplete without again reiterating the crucialrole of my wife Kitty Edwards in everything I do. Her support,help, thoughtful advice, and encouragement are boundless.

Finally, I am very much indebted to Anne McCoy and MarkJohnson for their heroic efforts in assembling this issue and tothose of you who have contributed your science to this issue ofthe Journal of Physical Chemistry. This story is truly yours!
