The CF3S radical has been investigated using the LIF and fluorescence depletion techniques. The vibrational structure of the first excited à A1 state has been assigned. The photodissociation process at energies above the origin of the à state has been characterized by fluorescence temporal decay and fluorescence depletion spectroscopy. Above the photodissociation threshold the ratio of the rate...

Nonadiabatic interactions in the NeICI van der Waals complex have been explored in the lowest energy triad ofICI ion-pair states (~39 000 cm-I). Dispersed fluorescence measurements reveal emission characteristic of multiple ion-pair electronic states, with the relative contributions from the E(0 +), P(1), and D I (2) states changing with the initial ICI vibrational excitation (VICI)' Emission d...

The report presents results of development of an accurate, physics-based model of vibrational androtational energy transfer in three-dimensional collisions of rotating diatomic molecules, applicable over awide range of collision energies and vibrational / rotational quantum numbers, and results of detailedkinetic modeling studies of state-to-state molecular energy transfer processes...

Coherent nuclear motion of the carbon backbone is monitored in real time in substituted poly(phenylene)-vinylene in both excited and ground electronic state using sub-10-fs light pulses. Characteristic features of the intrachain vibrational dynamics are obtained. We observe vibrational dephasing in the excited state within 1 ps (time constant T(2e) approximately 300 fs). These findings are in a...

The K-VV Auger spectrum of carbon monoxide (CO) excited by C 1s photoionization has been investigated with a novel electron-electron coincidence setup. The energy resolution is sufficiently high to resolve the vibrational energy levels of the core-ionized intermediate state and of most dicationic final states in the two-dimensional electron energy map. We demonstrate how the influence of vibrat...

We show how to teleport reliably an arbitrary superposition of n = 0 and n = 1 vibrational number state between two distant ions. This is done by first mapping the vibrational state to be teleported into the internal degrees of freedom of a given ion. Then we handle with the internal superposition state following Bennett’s original protocol and a recently proposed technique for teleportation of...

Femtosecond laser excitation and density functional theory reveal site and vibrational state specificity in neutral atomic hydrogen desorption from graphite induced by multiple electronic transitions. Multimodal velocity distributions witness the participation of ortho and para pair states of chemisorbed hydrogen in the desorption process. Very slow velocities of 700 and 400  ms^{-1} for H and ...
