Theoretical exploration of ultrafast spectroscopy of small clusters

  • We present the ultrafast multistate nuclear dynamics involving adiabatic and nonadiabatic excited states of non-stoichiometric halide deficient clusters (NanF) characterized by strong ionic bonding and one-excess electron for which the "frozen ionic bonds" approximation has been justified allowing to consider the optical response of the single excess electron in the effective field of the other electrons. We combined the Wigner-Moyal representation of the vibronic density matrix with the ab initio multi state molecular dynamics in the ground and excited electronic states including the nonadiabatic couplings calculated "on the fly" at low computational demand. This method allows the simulation of femtosecond pump-probe and pump-dump signals based on an analytical formulation, which utilizes temperature dependent ground state initial conditions, an ensemble of trajectories carried out on the electronic excited state as well as on the ground state after the passage through the conical intersection in the case of nonadiabatic dynamics andWe present the ultrafast multistate nuclear dynamics involving adiabatic and nonadiabatic excited states of non-stoichiometric halide deficient clusters (NanF) characterized by strong ionic bonding and one-excess electron for which the "frozen ionic bonds" approximation has been justified allowing to consider the optical response of the single excess electron in the effective field of the other electrons.

The choice of the systems we presented has been made in order to determine the timescales of the fast geometric relaxation leaving the bonding frame intact as during the dynamics in the first excited state of Na4F3, and of the bond breaking processes leading to conical intersection between the first excited state and the ground state as in Na3F2. The former is the smallest finite system prototype for an surface F-center of bulk color centers. The latter allows to study the photo isomerization in full complexity taking into account all degrees of freedom. In the case of Na4F3 after the fast geometric relaxation in the excited state leading to deformed cuboidal structure without breaking of bonds, different types of internal vibrational redistribution (IVR) processes have been identified in pump-dump signals by tuning the dump laser. In contrast, from the analysis of the pump-probe signals of Na3F2 cluster, the timescales for the metallic and the ionic bond breaking, as well as for the passage through conical intersection have been determined. Finally the conditions under which these processes can be experimentally observed have been identified.show moreshow less
