The photochemistry of metal-organic compounds in solution is determined by both intra- and inter-molecular relaxation processes after photoexcitation. Understanding its prime mechanisms is crucial to optimise the reactive paths and control their outcome. H ...

The photoelectron spectra of both liquid and gas phase aromatic molecules are reported. The spectra were obtained using a 34.1 eV source produced by high harmonic generation and analysed with the help of high-level ab initio simulations using the reflectio ...

A complete characterization, based on fs pump-probe spectroscopy and mol. dynamics simulations, is presented of the ultrafast dynamics of electronic bubble formation in solid para-H2 upon impulsive excitation of impurity-doped sites, which correlate with t ...

The ultrafast evolution of the electric field within bacteriorhodopsin was measured by monitoring the absorption changes of a tryptophan residue after excitation of retinal. The Trp absorption decreases within the first 200 femtoseconds and then recovers o ...

We report on photoluminescence decay measurements of CdSe nanoparticles over several decades of intensities and times, and as a function of size and temp. A model is proposed for the multi-exponential decay kinetics, and their temp. dependence, in which a ...

Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin (WT bR) and 2 tryptophan mutants (W86F and W182F) is performed with visible light excitation (pump) and UV probe. The aim is to investigate the photoinduced change in the charge dis ...

The ultrafast response of cytochrome bc1 is investigated for the first time, via transient absorption spectroscopy. The distinct redox potentials of both c(1)- and b-hemes allow for a clear differentiation of their respective signals. We find that while th ...

The manipulation of the electronic properties of solids by light is an exciting goal, which requires knowledge of the electronic structure with energy, momentum and temporal resolution. Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) is the ...

We report on a study of the early relaxation processes of met-Myoglobin in aqueous solution, using a combination of ultrafast broadband fluorescence detection and transient absorption with a broad UV-visible continuum probe at different pump energies. Reco ...

Using broadband UV-vis femtosecond transient absorption and fluorescence up-conversion, we investigate the interaction between the haem moiety of ferric and ferrous Horse heart Cytochrome c and its single Tryptophan (Trp) residue and the energy dissipation ...

Broadband transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy, three-pulse photon echo peak shift (3PEPS), and anisotropy decay measurements were used to study the solvation dynamics in bulk water and interfacial water at ZrO2 surfaces, using Eosin Y as a probe. The 3P ...

Dizzy cooling: Femtosecond excitation of the singlet states of aqueous [FeII(bpy)3]2+ (bpy=2,2-bipyridine) leads to the formation of a vibrationally hot quintet state that exhibits wave-packet dynamics arising from a chelate-ring and bending mode. The vibr ...

A visible-pump/UV-probe transient absorption is used to characterize the ultrafast dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin with 80-fs time resoln. We identify three spectral components in the 265- to 310-nm region, related to the all-trans retinal, tryptophan (Trp)- ...

Femtosecond white-light continuum probe transient absorption and reflectivity measurements of bulk graphite and graphene paper are reported. In graphite, the relaxation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs happens through in-plane electron–electron and elec ...

Ultrafast excited-state dynamics of planar Pt, Pd, and Ni dithione-dithiolato complexes were investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy on the femtosecond-picosecond timescale. All studied complexes show a common photobehaviour, although individual ...

The ultrafast relaxation of aq. Fe(II)-tris(bipyridine) upon excitation into the singlet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer band (1MLCT) was characterized by femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion and transient absorption (TA) studies. The fluorescence expt. ...

We describe the facilities for ultraviolet studies in the femtosecond to nanosecond time domain. These facilities consist of: i) a set-up for deep-ultraviolet spectroscopy in the 260–380 nm range in both pump and probe pulses for transient absorption/refle ...

We present a broadband two-dimensional transient absorption setup for the UV around 300 nm with a time resolution of 150 fs. A narrowband, frequency tunable pump pulse and a broadband probe pulse are generated from the output of a noncollinear optical para ...

Harmonium is a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photon source built within the Lausanne Centre for Ultrafast Science (LACUS). Utilising high harmonic generation, photons from 20-110 eV are available to conduct steady-state or ultrafast photoelectron and photoion s ...

The authors measured the ultrafast response of triangular silver nanoparticles upon femtosecond excitation of their plasmon resonance. After a fast electron relaxation, the signature of a bimodal mech. vibration of the particle is apparent as a spectral mo ...
