Ultrafast 25-fs relaxation in highly excited states of methyl azide mediated by strong nonadiabatic coupling

Journal Article Peters, William K. ; Couch, David E. ; Mignolet, Benoit ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Highly excited electronic states are challenging to explore experimentally and theoretically—due to the large density of states and the fact that small structural changes lead to large changes in electronic character with associated strong nonadiabatic dynamics. They can play a key role in astrophysical and ionospheric chemistry, as well as the detonation chemistry of high-energy density materials. Here, we implement ultrafast vacuum-UV (VUV)-driven electron–ion coincidence imaging spectroscopy to directly probe the reaction pathways of highly excited states of energetic molecules—in this case, methyl azide. Our data, combined with advanced theoretical simulations, show that photoexcitation of methyl azide by a 10-fsmore »« less

Highly-excited state properties of cumulenone chlorides in the vacuum-ultraviolet

Journal Article Nguyen, Quynh L. D. ; Peters, William K. ; Fortenberry, Ryan C. - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP

A detailed understanding of VUV-driven photochemistry in complex organic molecules is challenging. This quantum chemical analysis reports the electronic properties and ionization energies up to the VUV range (6–11 eV) of the chlorinated cumulenones.

Uncovering Highly-Excited State Mixing in Acetone Using Ultrafast VUV Pulses and Coincidence Imaging Techniques

Journal Article Couch, David E. ; Kapteyn, Henry C. ; Murnane, Margaret M. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. A, Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, and General Theory

Understanding the ultrafast dynamics of highly-excited electronic states of small molecules is critical for a better understanding of atmospheric and astrophysical processes, as well as for designing coherent control strategies for manipulating chemical dynamics. In highly excited states, nonadiabatic coupling, electron-electron interactions, and the high density of states govern dynamics. However, these states are computationally and experimentally challenging to access. Fortunately, new sources of ultrafast vacuum ultraviolet pulses, in combination with electron-ion coincidence spectroscopies, provide new tools to unravel the complex electronic landscape. Here we report time-resolved photoelectron-photoion coincidence experiments using 8 eV pump photons to study the highly excited states of acetone. We uncover for the first time direct evidence that the resulting excited state consists of a mixture of bothmore »« less

Temporal and spatially resolved imaging of the correlated nuclear-electronic dynamics and of the ionized photoelectron in a coherently electronically highly excited vibrating LiH molecule

Journal Article van den Wildenberg, Stephan ; Mignolet, Benoit ; Levine, R. D. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Few-cycle ultrashort IR pulses allow excitation of coherently coupled electronic states toward steering nuclear motions in molecules. We include in the Hamiltonian the excitation process using an IR pulse of a definite phase between its envelope and carrier wave and provide a quantum mechanical description of both multiphoton excitation and ionization. We report on the interplay between these two processes in shaping the ensuing coupled electronic-nuclear dynamics in both the neutral excited electronic states and the cationic states of the diatomic molecule LiH. The dynamics is described by solving numerically the time-dependent Schrodinger equation at nuclear grid points using themore »« less
