Electron Dynamics upon Ionization of Polyatomic Molecules: Coupling to Quantum Nuclear Motion and Decoherence.
Knowledge about the electronic motion in molecules is essential for our understanding of chemical reactions and biological processes. The advent of attosecond techniques opens up the possibility to induce electronic motion, observe it in real time, and potentially steer it. A fundamental question remains the factors influencing electronic decoherence and the role played by nuclear motion in thi...
متن کاملPolyatomic molecules under intense femtosecond laser irradiation.
Interaction of intense laser pulses with atoms and molecules is at the forefront of atomic, molecular, and optical physics. It is the gateway to powerful new tools that include above threshold ionization, high harmonic generation, electron diffraction, molecular tomography, and attosecond pulse generation. Intense laser pulses are ideal for probing and manipulating chemical bonding. Though the ...
متن کاملReconstruction of two-dimensional molecular structure with laser-induced electron diffraction from laser-aligned polyatomic molecules
Imaging the transient process of molecules has been a basic way to investigate photochemical reactions and dynamics. Based on laser-induced electron diffraction and partial one-dimensional molecular alignment, here we provide two effective methods for reconstructing two-dimensional structure of polyatomic molecules. We demonstrate that electron diffraction images in both scattering angles and b...
متن کاملCoulomb explosion of large polyatomic molecules assisted by nonadiabatic charge localization.
The electron-nuclear dynamics of the Coulomb explosion of a large polyatomic molecule, anthracene, is probed using kinetic energy distributions of produced H+ ions. The kinetic energy release of ejected protons exceeds 30 eV for anthracene exposed to 10(14) W cm(-2), 800 nm pulses of 60 fs duration. We propose a strong-field charge localization model, based on nonadiabatic dynamics of charge di...
متن کاملImaging the Ultrafast Electronic Dynamics of Polyatomic Molecules: Molecular Frame Photoelectron Imaging, Quantum Control, Attosecond Strong Field Physics
The most general molecular dynamic processes involve the coupled flow of both valence electronic charge and vibrational energy. Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (TRPES) is a powerful probe of ultrafast non-adiabatic dynamics in polyatomic molecules, as it simultaneously observes both electronic and vibrational dynamics [1]. The most detailed information, however, obtains from observing ...
