Electronic spectroscopy offers a window into the electronic structure of molecules by probing transitions between quantised energy states, while vibrational dynamics characterises the way atoms within ...

An international research team from Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, Norway, Spain and Japan has made a significant breakthrough in understanding ultrafast electronic dynamics, revealing the ...

Fig. 1 The measured time-resolved KER spectrum (A) and the measured photoion momentum distributions at different delays (B) of O2 molecules. The coupled electronic and nuclear motions within a single ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have reported the first observations of ultrafast electronic dynamics in a system of strongly interacting gold nanoparticles. The observations ...

Nearly a century ago, physicists Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer developed an assumption regarding how quantum mechanics plays out in molecules, which are comprised of intricate systems of nuclei ...
