Entangled valence electron-hole dynamics revealed by stimulated attosecond x-ray Raman scattering

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 3(17):2326-2331

We show that broadband x-ray pulses can create wavepackets of valence electrons and holes localized in the vicinity of a selected atom (nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur in cysteine) by resonant stimulated Raman scattering. The subsequent dynamics reveals highly correlated motions of entangled electrons and hole quasiparticles. This information goes beyond the time-dependent total charge density derived from x-ray diffraction.
