Abstract

The ultrafast non-radiative relaxation processes between electronic states of Hg2 trapped in a cryogenic argon matrix after photon excitation at 266 nm is studied by mol. dynamics with quantum transitions (MDQT). Population transfer by matrix-induced couplings and vibrational energy relaxation compete on the same time scale during the dynamics. In spite of multiple nonadiabatic crossing events between the 14 different electronic excited states involved in the dynamics, our simulations show that the vibrational coherence of the Hg2 oscillator is retained during the first few picoseconds. These results demonstrate that vibrational coherence of a solute can be preserved even after several solvent-induced curve-crossing events. [on SciFinder (R)]

Simulation

A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation. Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance tuning or optimizing, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games.

Training simulation

In business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.

Ultrafast laser spectroscopy

Ultrafast laser spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique that uses ultrashort pulse lasers for the study of dynamics on extremely short time scales (attoseconds to nanoseconds). Different methods are used to examine the dynamics of charge carriers, atoms, and molecules. Many different procedures have been developed spanning different time scales and photon energy ranges; some common methods are listed below. Dynamics on the as to fs time scale are in general too fast to be measured electronically.
