This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970s, researchers in Canada, the Soviet Union and the United States discovered that powerful infrared laser pulses are capable of dissociating mole cules such as SiF4 and SF6' This result, which was so unexpected that for some time the phenomenon of multiple-photon dissociation was not recognized in many cir cumstances in which we now know that it occurs, was first publicized at a time when the possibility of using lasers for the separation of isotopes had attracted much attention in the scientific community. From the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, hun dreds of experimental papers were published describing the multiple-photon absorp tion of C02 laser pulses in nearly every simple molecule with an absorption band in the 9 - 11 jJm region. Despite this impressive volume of experimental results, and despite the efforts of numerous theorists, there is no agreement among re searchers in the field on many fundamental aspects of the absorption of infrared laser light by polyatomic molecules. This book is devoted to reviells of the experimental and theoretical research that provides the foundations for our current understanding of molecular multiple photon exc itat i on, and to rev i ews of research that is pert i nent to the 1 aser sep aration of isotopes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photodissociation induced by the absorption of single photons permits the detailed study of molecular dynamics such as the breaking of bonds, internal energy transfer and radiationless transitions. The availability of powerful lasers operating over a wide frequency range has stimulated rapid development of new experimental techniques which make it possible to analyse photodissociation processes in unprecedented detail. This text elucidates the achievements in calculating photodissociation cross-sections and fragment state distributions from first principles, starting from multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces and the Schrödinger equation of nuclear motion. Following an extended introduction in which the various types of observables are outlined, the book summarises the basic theoretical tools, namely the time-independent and the time-dependent quantum mechanical approaches as well as the classical picture of photodissociation. The discussions of absorption spectra, diffuse vibrational structures, the vibrational and rotational state distributions of the photofragments form the core of the book. More specific topics such as the dissociation of vibrationally excited molecules, emission during dissociation, or nonadiabatic effects are also discussed. It will be of interest to graduate students and senior scientists working in molecular physics, spectroscopy, molecular collisions and molecular kinetics.

Download or read book Excited States V3 written by Edward Lim and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excited States, Volume 3 deals with excited states and covers topics ranging from two-photon molecular spectroscopy in liquids and gases to time evolution of excited molecular states. Product energy distributions in the dissociation of polyatomic molecules are also discussed, along with the mechanism of optical nuclear polarization in molecular crystals and vibronic interactions and luminescence in aromatic molecules with non-bonding electrons. Comprised of five chapters, this volume begins with a didactic treatment of the theory of simultaneous two-photon absorption spectroscopy from the point of view concerned primarily with molecular gases and liquids. The basic theoretical quantity is shown to be an absorption tensor, as contrasted with the absorption vector of one-photon spectroscopy. The next chapter considers the time evolution of a molecular system interacting with a photon wave packet. The theory is applied to handle photon scattering from several physical models for molecular level structure in excited electronic states of polyatomic molecules. The remaining chapters explore various polyatomic decomposition processes and the basic features governing the internal energy distribution of the fragments; optical nuclear polarization in molecular crystals and vibronic interactions; and luminescence in aromatic molecules with non-bonding electrons. This book should be of interest to chemists and molecular physicists.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the invited papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Stochasticity and Intramolecular Redistribution of Energy" held in Orsay (France) from June 23 to July 3, 1986. The Work shop brought together leading researchers involved in the experimental and the theoretical studies of vibrational energy flow and relaxation in activated polyatomic molecules. The recent experimental developments in this area include the study of ultracold molecules in supersonic beams and the development of high resolution (frequency domain) and ultrafast (time domain) spectroscopic techniques. On the theoretical side the intro duction of statistical methods (random matrix theory, reduced equations of motion) and efficient numerical algorithms provide an adequate frame work for the interpretation of vibrational dynamics in large polyatomic molecules. Classical, semiclassical and quantum calculations on simple model systems show the existence of regular and chaotic regions in the phase space. The articles in this volume provide an updated review of the current status of experimental studies and the relevance of the recent theoretical developments to their interpretation. We wish to thank the organizations which made this workshop possible. NATO prov ided the basic grant. We acknowledge the essential contribu tion of the late Dr Mario di Lullo in providing pertinent advice. The gen erous support of the U. S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the U. S.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 1154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first stimulated emission pumping (SEP) experiments more than a decade ago, this technique has proven powerful for studying vibrationally excited molecules. SEP is now widely used by increasing numbers of research groups to investigate fundamental problems in spectroscopy, intramolecular dynamics, intermolecular interactions, and even reactions. SEP provides rotationally pre-selected spectra of vibrationally highly excited molecules undergoing large amplitude motions. A unique feature of SEP is the ability to access systematically a wide variety of extreme excitations localized in various parts of a molecule, and to prepare populations in specific, high vibrational levels. SEP has made it possible to ask and answer specific questions about intramolecular vibrational redistribution and the role of vibrational excitation in chemical reactions.

Download or read book Modelling the Dissociation Dynamics and Threshold Photoelectron Spectra of Small Halogenated Molecules written by Jonelle Harvey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonelle Harvey's book outlines two related experimental techniques, threshold photoelectron spectroscopy and threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence techniques, which are utilised to investigate small halogenated molecules. All the experiments were conducted at the vacuum ultraviolet beamline of the Swiss Light Source, a synchrotron photon source, which has the advantage over popular laser photon-sources of extreme ease of tunability. Three studies are presented which combine experimental and computational ab initio approaches: studying the fast dissociations of halogenated methanes in order to construct a self-consistent thermochemical network; investigating the fragmentations of fluoroethenes from timebombs, which break apart very slowly but explosively, to fast dissociators; and uncovering how vital conical interactions underpin both the results of photoelectron spectra and dissociation patterns. The details included in this thesis are useful for researchers working in the same field and those readers wishing to obtain a solid introduction into the types of systems encountered in threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissociative recombination (DR) of molecular ions with electrons is a complex, poorly understood molecular process. Its critical role as a neutralising agent in the Earth's upper atmosphere is now well established and its occurrence in many natural and laboratory-produced plasma has been a strong motivation for studying the event. In this book theoretical concepts, experimental methodology and applications are united, revealing the governing principles behind the gas-phase reaction. The book takes the reader through the intellectual challenges posed, describing in detail dissociation mechanisms, dynamics, diatomic and polyatomic ions and related processes, including dissociative excitation, ion pair formation and photodissociation. With the final chapter dedicated to applications in astrophysics, atmospheric science, plasma physics and fusion research, this is a focused, definitive guide to a fundamental molecular process. The book will appeal to academics within physics, physical chemistry and related sciences.
Download or read book Dissociation Dynamics of Transient Molecules Studied by Photoelectron Photofragment Coincidence Spectroscopy written by Amelia Wolpert Ray and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the simplest carboxyl free radical the formyloxyl radical, HCO2, serves as a prototype for more complex carboxyl free radicals such as CH3CO2, C6H5CO2 and HC2CO2. It is also an intermediate in the OH + CO [right arrow] H + CO2 reaction, of increasing interest for both atmospheric and combustion chemistry. The predissociation dynamics for the DCO2− + hv [right arrow] D + CO2 + e− reaction were studied by DPD of DCO2−. Photodetachment near threshold (hv = 4.27 eV) accesses all three of the lowest-lying electronic states (2B2, 2A1, and 2A2) of the formyloxyl radical. The photoelectron spectrum indicates vibrational excitation dominated by the O--C--O bending mode in the 2A1. In the PPC spectra for DCO2−, each vibrational state of the nascent neutral is coupled to bending excitation in the resulting CO2 product observed in the eKE-gated state-resolved translational energy distribution. Each CO2 product-state distribution exhibits a substantial level of bending excitation, more than predicted by recent quantum-dynamics calculations on an ab initio potential energy surface. Extending our work on carboxyl free radicals, the dissociation dynamics of the propiolyl radical, HCCCO2, and its related isomer CCCO2H were studied by DPD of their respective anions using PPC spectroscopy. At hv = 4.27 eV, the HCCCO2− anions is found to readily dissociate to HCC + CO2. Similar to the formyloxyl radical, dissociation to HCC + CO2 results in a series of resolved peaks in the translational energy release spectrum corresponding to the O--C--O bending mode in the CO2 fragment. The isomeric CCCO2H were not observed. High level ab initio calculations and Franck-Condon simulations were carried out to reproduce the stable photoelectron spectrum. Extending the recent work on the F + H2O benchmark F initiated hydrogen abstraction reaction, the effects of vibrational excitation of the precursor anion was explored. To carry out this experiment, an IR laser was coupled into the existing PPC spectrometer using a mirror on the existing neutral beam block. Excitation of the internal hydrogen bond F--H--OH of the anion causes a noticeable change in dissociation dynamics, increasing access to the HF + OH products. Finally, the effects of intramolecular vibrational relaxation of the excited anions was explored by looking at how the anions aged during confinement in the electrostatic ion beam trap. Finally, the F + HOCH3 [right arrow] HF + OCH3 reaction was studied; expanding our work on F initiated hydrogen abstraction reactions. The HF product is formed with considerable excitation while the OCH3 product behaves as a spectator to the reaction. Both the metastable reactant channel van der Waals complex and stable product hydrogen bonded complexes were observed, along with a series of long-lived metastable vibrational Feshbach resonances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular vibrational dynamics far from equilibrium, or in the vicinity of saddle points, are of utmost importance in chemistry. However, most of the standard models used by chemists only perform well near local minima in the potential energy surface. Several spectroscopic techniques are developed and applied to the study of molecules in excited states, including chirped-pulse millimeter wave spectroscopy and adaptations of millimeter-wave optical double resonance. Models for Franck-Condon factors in the linear-to-bent S1-S0 transition of acetylene elucidate the dynamics of bright states observed in the fluorescence spectrum and provide insight for the design of spectroscopic schemes for accessing barrier-proximal vibrational levels. IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy enables characterization of the source of staggering in the antisymmetric stretch progression of the C̃ state of SO2, which arises due to vibronic interactions that lead to non-equivalent equilibrium SO bond lengths.
