The predissociation dynamics of the vibrationless level of the first Rydberg state 6s (B 2E) state of CH3I has been studied by femtosecond-resolved velocity map imaging of both the CH3 and I photofragments. The kinetic energy distributions of the two fragments have been recorded as a function of the pump-probe delay, and as a function of excitation within the umbrella and stretching vibrational modes of the CH3 fragment. These observations are made by using (2+1) Resonant Enhanced MultiPhoton Ionization (REMPI) via the 3pz 2A2 state of CH3 to detect specific vibrational levels of CH3. The vibrational branching fractions of the CH3 are recovered by using the individual vibrationally state-selected CH3 distributions to fit the kinetic energy distribution obtained by using nonresonant multiphoton ionization of either the I or CH3 fragment. The angular distributions and rise times of the two fragments differ significantly. These observations can be rationalized through a consideration of the alignment of the CH3 fragment and the effect of this alignment on its detection efficiency. Two extra dissociation channels are detected: one associated with Rydberg states near 9.2 eV that were observed previously in photoelectron studies, and one associated with photodissociation of the parent cation around 15 eV.

The lifetime of the $E^3Pi_g(v=3)$ state of molecular iodine was measured in the gas phase at room temperature. The $E^3Pi_g$ state was selectively populated by two sequential nanosecond pulse laser excitation. Resolved molecular fluorescence for the
$B^3Pi_u^+leftarrow E^3Pi_g$ was analyzed and the lifetime of the $E(v=3)$ state, measured using a time-correlated single photon counting technique, is to be $tau=21 (2)$ ns.
Using time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) we examine the energy, angular and time-resolved photoelectron spectra (TRPES) of ethylene in a pump-probe setup. To simulate TRPES we expose ethylene to an ultraviolet (UV) femtosecond pump puls
e, followed by a time delayed extreme ultraviolet (XUV) probe pulse. Studying the photoemission spectra as a function of this delay provides us direct access to the dynamic evolution of the molecules electronic levels. Further, by including the nucleis motion, we provide direct chemical insight into the chemical reactivity of ethylene. These results show how angular and energy resolved TRPES could be used to directly probe electron and nucleus dynamics in molecules.
The lifetime of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) [L. S. Cederbaum et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 4778 (1997)] in Ne_2 is determined via an extreme ultraviolet pump-probe experiment at the Free-Electron Laser in Hamburg. The pump pulse creates a 2s inn
er-shell vacancy in one of the two Ne atoms, whereupon the ionized dimer undergoes ICD resulting in a repulsive Ne^{+}(2p^{-1}) - Ne^{+}(2p^{-1}) state, which is probed with a second pulse, removing a further electron. The yield of coincident Ne^{+} - Ne^{2+} pairs is recorded as a function of the pump-probe delay, allowing us to deduce the ICD lifetime of the Ne_{2}^{+}(2s^{-1}) state to be (150 +/- 50) fs in agreement with quantum calculations.
When weakly-bound complexes are multiply excited by intense electromagnetic radiation, energy can be exchanged between neighboring atoms through a type of resonant interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD). This decay mechanism due to multiple excitations ha
s been predicted to be relatively slow, typically lasting tens to hundreds of picoseconds. Here, we directly measure the ICD timescale in resonantly excited helium droplets using a high resolution, tunable, extreme ultraviolet free electron laser. Over an extensive range of droplet sizes and laser intensities, we discover the decay to be surprisingly fast, with decay times as fast as 400 femtoseconds, and to only present a weak dependence on the density of the excited states. Using a combination of time dependent density functional theory and ab initio quantum chemistry calculations, we elucidate the mechanisms of this ultrafast decay process where pairs of excited helium atoms in one droplet strongly attract each other and form merging void bubbles which drastically accelerates ICD.
High intensity XUV radiation from a free-electron (FEL) was used to create a nanoplasma inside ammonia clusters with the intent of studying the resulting electron-ion interactions and their interplay with plasma evolution. In a plasma-like state, ele
ctrons with kinetic energy lower than the local collective Coulomb potential of the positive ionic core are trapped in the cluster and take part in secondary processes (e.g. electron-impact excitation/ionization and electron-ion recombination) which lead to subsequent excited and neutral molecular fragmentation. Using a time-delayed UV laser, the dynamics of the excited atomic and molecular states are probed from -0.1 ps to 18 ps. We identify three different phases of molecular fragmentation that are clearly distinguished by the effect of the probe laser on the ionic and electronic yield. We propose a simple model to rationalize our data and further identify two separate channels leading to the formation of excited hydrogen.
