Femtosecond Dynamics of Linear Ag3
نویسندگان
چکیده
A femtosecond negative ion-neutral-positive ion charge reversal apparatus has been developed, following the concept of Wöste and Berry, to carry out spectroscopy of transient neutral species along the reaction coordinate. We report studies of the ultrafast dynamics of linear Ag3 produced by photodetachment of linear Ag3. The background-free time-resolved multiphoton ionization spectra of Ag3 taken at various wavelengths show a strong probe time and wavelength dependence, indicating important roles both of an intermediate state resonance and the ionization detection window in the time-resolved ionization signal. Based on these results, we speculate on the wavepacket dynamics along the coordinate of the linear-to-triangular rearrangement on the ground state potential energy surface.

Analysis of the ultrafast dynamics of the silver trimer upon photodetachment
We study the ultrafast dynamics of Ag3 clusters immediately after the photodetachment of Ag3 by performing molecular dynamics simulations based on a microscopic electronic theory. We determine the time scale for the change from the linear (initial situation) to a triangular structure (potential minimum) of the ground state of Ag3. Our results are in good agreement with experiment. We show how t...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics inside femtosecond enhancement cavities.
We have investigated the effect of intracavity nonlinear dynamics arising from enhanced peak powers of femtosecond pulses inside broad-bandwidth, dispersion-controlled, high-finesse optical cavities. We find that for chi(3) nonlinearities, when a train of femtosecond pulses are maximally coupled into a cavity by active stabilization of its frequency comb to the corresponding linear resonances o...
متن کاملFemtosecond Studies of Orientationai Anisotropy Decay of Benzopyranthione in the Excited 52 State in Hydrocarbons
Reorientational dynamics of 4H-l-benzopyrane-4-thione (BPT) in the S2 state, in hydrocarbon solution, is studied from the anisotropy decay of fluorescence upconversion and pump-probe absorption transients with femtosecond time resolution. The anisotropy decay is found to be monoexponential in n-hexane, «-heptane, «-octane, «-decane, «-dodecane and cyclohexane. The dependence of the rotational t...

متن کاملLigand/cluster/support catalytic complexes in heterogeneous ultrananocatalysis: NO oxidation on Ag3/MgO(100).
In the present work we explore via first-principles simulations whether the ligand/cluster/support catalytic complex generated by CO oxidation over silver trimers deposited on the regular MgO(100) surface - i.e. a Ag3/carbonate or Ag3(CO3)/MgO(100) species - can be used as a catalyst in a different reaction: the selective oxidation of NO to NO2 (or NOox). The Ag3(CO3)/MgO(100) complex is first ...
