Mestdagh, J. - M., Barreau, L., & Poisson, L. (2024). Real-time dynamics of vibronic wavepackets within Rydberg and ion-pair states of molecular iodine. Phys Chem Chem Phys, .
Résumé: Real-time dynamics of vibrationally and electronically excited I_2 molecules has been investigated experimentally using the pump-probe technique. A 2-photon excitation was performed either at 269 nm or 266 nm. An electronic and vibrational wavepacket was built as coherent superposition of a few (269 nm excitation) or many (266 nm excitation) Rydberg states of the and series partly coupled with ion-pair states. The probe operated by ionisation or photodetachement. The energy and angular distribution of the resulting photoelectrons, I(+) photocations and I(-) photoanions were monitored. During the dynamics that is turned on by the pump excitation, the wavepacket splits and explores a variety of electronic states of Rydberg and ion-pair character. The experimental results were complemented by molecular dynamics calculations. This provided invaluable information to identify wavepacket motion along ion-pair potential energy curves.
