Photon echoes of polyatomic molecules in condensed phases
نویسنده
چکیده
A theory of optical echo spectroscopies of large polyatomic molecules in condensed phases is developed. Using phase space correlation functions, we examine the interrelationships among the following optical measurements: ordinary photon echo, stimulated photon echo, accumulated photon echo, incoherent accumulated photon echo, and pump-probe absorption. Conditions for the elimination of inhomogeneous broadening in these experiments are specified. A multimode Brownian oscillator model is used to account for high frequency molecular vibrations, as well as solvent modes, and electronic dephasing processes. The effects of quantum beats, spectral diffusion, and homogeneous dephasing on the echo signals are studied and compared in detail with pump-probe and hole burning spectroscopy.

Bifurcation effects in coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
When Bose-Einstein condensed ~BEC! systems are coupled, dramatic phenomena occur, owing to macroscopic phase coherence. Effective second-quantized Hamiltonians are often used as simple models @1–3,5–7# to bring out the characteristic behavior of these systems. Very similar Hamiltonians are used @8–10# to model striking effects in vibrational spectra of polyatomic molecules, related to classical...
متن کاملThe hardness kernel as the basis for global and local reactivity indices
In a very recent article (Torrent-Sucarrat et al., J Comput Chem 2007, 28, 574), we have shown how to evaluate the global hardness for polyatomic molecules using a hardness kernel approximation. We present here an extension of this previous work by improving the model used to evaluate the hardness kernel and the Fukui function. In addition, the concept of the local hardness is analyzed in detai...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Ionization of Polyatomic Molecules in a Mass Spectrometer
Photoionization has been a highly selective method for the preparation of polyatomic molecular ions [1]. VUV light, usually of low intensity, must be employed; the produced ion flux has, however, often been insufficient for many interesting appli cations. Classical methods have employed discharge lamps or, more recently, synchrotron radiation [2]. The former is limited to a few wavelengths a t...
متن کاملSecond Virial Coefficients for Nonspherical Molecules and Their Experimental Measurements
The virial coefficients can be obtained from statistical mechanics in connection with the intermolecular potentials. The intermolecular potential of polyatomic molecules is usually assumed to consist of a spherically symmetric component plus a contribution due to asphericaity of the molecular charge distribution. In this study, the second virial coefficients have been calculated for N2...

The electron stimulated desorption of D anions from deuterated hydrocarbons condensed on a platinum substrate has been studied experimentally. D anion yield functions are reported for incident electron energies ranging from 0 to 20 eV: For each molecule studied, the yield function exhibits a single dissociative attachment resonance at approximately 10 eV: Above 15 eV; a linearly increasing D io...
