We investigated solvation structures of I- on and below a surface of an aqueous solution by photodetachment spectroscopy. An aqueous solution of an alkali halide was introduced to the vacuum as a continuous liquid flow (liquid beam), and the liquid beam was irradiated with a UV laser pulse. The intensity of electrons emitted from the surface by the laser excitation was measured as a function of wavelength (photodetachment spectroscopy), and we obtained absorption spectrum of I- on and below the solution surface. From the absorption spectrum, we found that I- starts to appear on the solution surface as the bulk NaI concentration increases. Similar concentration dependence was observed for the KI solution. We also found that I- located inside the solution is pushed to the surface, when NaCl is added to the solution. These changes are explained in terms of the difference in the polarizability of halide ions.
