Wave packet dynamics of K2 attached to helium nanodroplets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of vibrational wave packets excited in K2 dimers attached to superfluid helium nanodroplets is investigated by means of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The employed resonant three-photon-ionization scheme is studied in a wide wavelength range and different pathways leading to K 2 -formation are identified. While the wave packet dynamics of the electronic ground state is not influenced by the helium environment, perturbations of the electronically excited states are observed. The latter reveal a strong time dependence on the timescale 3 − 8 ps which directly reflects the dynamics of desorption of K2 off the helium droplets.

Wave packet dynamics in triplet states of Na2 attached to helium nanodroplets.
The dynamics of vibrational wave packets excited in Na2 dimers in the triplet ground and excited states is investigated by means of helium nanodroplet isolation (HENDI) combined with femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Different pathways in the employed resonant multiphoton ionization scheme are identified. Within the precision of the method, the wave packet dynamics appears to be unperturbed ...

متن کاملPhase-modulated electronic wave packet interferometry reveals high resolution spectra of free Rb atoms and Rb*He molecules.
Phase-modulated wave packet interferometry is combined with mass-resolved photoion detection to investigate rubidium atoms attached to helium nanodroplets in a molecular beam experiment. The spectra of atomic Rb electronic states show a vastly enhanced sensitivity and spectral resolution when compared to conventional pump-probe wave packet interferometry. Furthermore, the formation of Rb*He exc...
متن کاملPredissociation dynamics of lithium iodide.
The predissociation dynamics of lithium iodide (LiI) in the first excited A-state is investigated for molecules in the gas phase and embedded in helium nanodroplets, using femtosecond pump-probe photoionization spectroscopy. In the gas phase, the transient Li(+) and LiI(+) ion signals feature damped oscillations due to the excitation and decay of a vibrational wave packet. Based on high-level a...
متن کاملDynamics of solvation and desolvation of rubidium attached to He nanodroplets.
The real-time dynamics of photoexcited and photoionized rubidium (Rb) atoms attached to helium (He) nanodroplets is studied by femtosecond pump-probe mass spectrometry. While excited Rb atoms in the perturbed 6p-state (Rb*) desorb off the He droplets, Rb(+) photoions tend to sink into the droplet interior when created near the droplet surface. The transition from Rb(+) solvation to full Rb* des...
