Optical control of electrons during electron transfer.
The dynamics of electron transfer reactions in solution can be controlled with the use of a sequence of femtosecond laser pulses. In the charge transfer to solvent (CTTS) reaction of sodide (Na-) in tetrahydrofuran, an initial light pulse launched the CTTS reaction, ejecting an electron into either an immediate or a solvent-separated Na0:solvated electron contact pair. A second pulse was used t...
متن کاملCharge transfer to ground-state ions produces free electrons
Inner-shell ionization of an isolated atom typically leads to Auger decay. In an environment, for example, a liquid or a van der Waals bonded system, this process will be modified, and becomes part of a complex cascade of relaxation steps. Understanding these steps is important, as they determine the production of slow electrons and singly charged radicals, the most abundant products in radiati...
متن کاملOptical high-order subharmonic excitation of free cyclotron electrons.
Homogeneous laser radiation in the visible or infrared range can excite high-order subharmonics at the cyclotron frequency of free electrons in the millimeter or microwave range. This may provide coherent links between lasers and rf or microwave frequency standards. In order to divide the frequency of a CO(2) laser (lambda approximately 10 microm) by a factor of 100 down to lambda approximately...
متن کاملCubic optical nonlinearity of free electrons in bulk gold.
A fast (Tau(response) <90 fs) free-electron spin-f lipping frequency-degenerate nonlinearity with a signif icant value of|chi((3))(xxyy)(omega,omega,omega,-omega)chi((3))(xxyy)(omega,omega,omega,-omega)|~10(-)(8)esu has been observed in bulk gold at 1260 nm by use of a new pump-probe polarization-sensitive technique.
متن کاملA Single-beam, Ponderomotive-optical Trap for Energetic Free Electrons
60 LLE Review, Volume 70 Traditionally, there have been many advantages to using laser beams with Gaussian spatial profiles in the study of high-field atomic physics. High peak intensities are achieved due to their focusability, they are easily generated in most laser systems, and their focal region can be described analytically. However, free electrons interacting with such a field are rapidly...
