چکیده
The vibrational frequency of the I2 2 chromophore in size-selected I2 ~Ar!n and I2 ~CO2!n clusters has been measured to wave-number accuracy. The frequencies are determined by creating a coherent superposition of vibrational levels with a femtosecond laser pulse via a resonance impulsive stimulated Raman scattering process. The resulting wave-packet oscillations are detected with femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy. Blueshifting of the frequency occurs upon solvation, with larger shifts observed for solvation with CO2. The nature of the shifting is discussed and related to specific cluster geometries. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~98!02246-6#

The photodissociation of I2 2 embedded in mass-selected I2 (Ar)n clusters (n56 – 20) was studied using femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy. The Ã8←X̃ transition in the I22 chromophore was excited using a femtosecond pump pulse, and the subsequent dynamics were followed by photodetachment with a femtosecond probe pulse and measurement of the resulting photoelectron spectrum. In all clusters, d...

The photodissociation dynamics of I2 ~CO2)n(n54 – 16) clusters excited at 780 nm have been studied with femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy ~FPES!. The range of cluster sizes spans the uncaged and fully-caged product limits for this reaction. We observe time scales for a variety of processes in these clusters, including dissociation of the I2 2 chromophore, solvation of the I fragment, the o...

In this study, the structures, the IR spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of AunCum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and exchange correlation density functional theory (DFT). The study of an O2-AunCum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...
متن کاملSemiclassical description of vibrational quantum coherence in a three dimensional I(2)Ar(n) (n < or = 6) cluster: a forward-backward initial value representation implementation.
The semiclassical (SC) initial value representation (IVR) has been applied to describe true quantum coherence effects in a complex molecular system in full three dimensional space. The specific quantity considered is the time-dependent probability distribution of the I(2) vibrational coordinate following photoexcitation of I(2) in a rare gas cluster. The "forward-backward" version of the IVR me...
