We investigate ultrafast dynamics of the lowest singlet excited electronic state in liquid nitrobenzene using Ultrafast Transient Polarization Spectroscopy (UTPS), extending the well-known technique of Optical-Kerr Effect (OKE) spectroscopy to excited electronic states. The third-order non-linear response of the excited molecular ensemble is highly sensitive to details of excited state character and geometries and is measured using two femtosecond pulses following a third femtosecond pulse that populates the S1 excited state. By measuring this response as a function of time delays between the three pulses involved, we extract the dephasing time of the wave-packet on the excited state. The dephasing time measured as a function of time-delay after pump excitation shows oscillations indicating oscillatory wave-packet dynamics on the excited state. From the experimental measurements and supporting theoretical calculations, we deduce that the wave-packet completely leaves the S1 state surface after three traversals of the inter-system crossing between the singlet S1 and triplet T2 states.
The electronic and nuclear dynamics in methanol, following 156~nm photoexcitation, are investigated by combining a detailed analysis of time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy experiments with electronic structure calculations. The photoexcitation p
The recent demonstration of isolated attosecond pulses from an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) opens the possibility for probing ultrafast electron dynamics at X-ray wavelengths. An established experimental method for probing ultrafast dynamics is X
We report a novel experimental technique to investigate ultrafast dynamics in photoexcited molecules by probing the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility. A non-colinear 3-pulse scheme is developed to probe the ultrafast dynamics of excited el
Single molecule spectroscopy aims at unveiling often hidden but potentially very important contributions of single entities to a systems ensemble response. Albeit contributing tremendously to our ever growing understanding of molecular processes the
We investigate theoretically the dynamic multiferroic response of coupled ferroelectric/ferromagnetic composites upon excitation by a photo-induced acoustic strain pulse. Two magnetoelectric mechanisms are considered: interface strain- and charge-med
