Visualizing photochemical dynamics in solution through picosecond x-ray scattering.
A photoexcited state of molecular iodine in solution is observed using diffuse x-ray scattering at a synchrotron source. The measured changes in the diffuse scattering profile were consistent with earlier models of iodine's photodissociation and geminate recombination reaction, for which the recombined A/A(') state has a 0.4 A greater interatomic spacing than the resting state and has a lifetim...
متن کاملX-ray scattering tomography for biological applications.
The conventional attenuation contrast imaging does not yield satisfactory sensitivity and specificity for weakly absorbing media, such as biological soft tissues. The x-ray scattering offer an important contrast mechanism to reveal structural features and density fluctuation within an object. This scattering signal carries information at the molecular and supra-molecular level, and has a tremen...
متن کاملPicosecond soft x ray source from subpicosecond laser produced plasmas
Short pulse high intensity laser plasma interactions are investigated experimentally with temporally and spectrally resolved soft x ray diagnostics We demonstrate that the pulse width of the laser produced x rays emitted from solid targets may be varied down to the picosecond time scale by adjusting the incident laser ux Bright picosecond broadband emission characteristic of a short scale lengt...

be 35.1 kJ/mol (8.4 kcal/mol) for formation of the complex and 115.9 kJ/mol(27.7 kcal/mol) for dissociation of the complex. The kinetic results, as well as helping to describe and validate the model of hyaluronate-proteoglycan interaction, are also of value in the design of experiments. In the experiment shown in Fig. 1 equilibrium is only attained after approx. 1-lfh, as monitored by light-sca...
متن کاملUltrafast X-ray Scattering from Molecules.
We present a theoretical framework for the analysis of ultrafast X-ray scattering experiments using nonadiabatic quantum molecular dynamics simulations of photochemical dynamics. A detailed simulation of a pump-probe experiment in ethylene is used to examine the sensitivity of the scattering signal to simulation parameters. The results are robust with respect to the number of wavepackets includ...
