Photoemission from non-polar aromatic molecules in the gas and liquid phase

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara, Jakob Grilj, Luca Longetti

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 ...

Localized holes and delocalized electrons in photoexcited inorganic perovskites: Watching each atomic actor by picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Gloria Capano, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Andre Al Haddad, Dominik Kinschel, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Jakob Grilj, Fabio Giacomo Santomauro, James Michael Budarz

We report on an element-selective study of the fate of charge carriers in photoexcited inorganic CsPbBr3 and CsPb(ClBr)(3) perovskite nanocrystals in toluene solutions using time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy with 80 ps time resolution. Probing th ...

Probing ultrafast pi pi/n pi internal conversion in organic chromophores via K-edge resonant absorption

Jakob Grilj, Christoph Bostedt, Siyuan Wang

Many photoinduced processes including photosynthesis and human vision happen in organic molecules and involve coupled femtosecond dynamics of nuclei and electrons. Organic molecules with heteroatoms often possess an important excited-state relaxation chann ...

Harmonium: A pulse preserving source of monochromatic extreme ultraviolet (30–110 eV) radiation for ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Hua Zhang, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara, Jakob Grilj

A tuneable repetition rate extreme ultraviolet source (Harmonium) for time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids is presented. High harmonic generation produces 30-110 eV photons, with fluxes ranging from similar to 2 x 10(11) photons/s at 36 eV t ...

Laser-Assisted Photoelectric Effect from Liquids

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara, Jakob Grilj

The laser-assisted photoelectric effect from liquid surfaces is reported for the first time. Photoelectrons generated by 35.6 eV radiation from a liquid microjet of water under vacuum are dressed with (h) over bar omega = 1.55 eV laser field. The subsequen ...

Direct Comparison of Multi-photon and EUV Single-Photon Probing of Molecular Relaxation Processes

Jakob Grilj

We present a new setup for time-resolved photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy allowing for single-photon EUV or multi-photon NIR ionization. Comparison of the two different probe schemes reveals disagreements shedding light on the underlying advantages ...

Broadband extreme ultraviolet probing of transient gratings in vanadium dioxide

Jakob Grilj

Nonlinear spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray spectral range offers the opportunity for element selective probing of ultrafast dynamics using core-valence transitions (Mukamel et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 42, 553 (2009)). We demonstrate ...

Extreme Ultraviolet Transient Grating Measurement of Insulator-Metal Transition Dynamics in VO2

Jakob Grilj

We demonstrate spectrally resolved transient grating (TG) spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) near the M-edge of vanadium dioxide. Time-dependent and broadband EUV-TG measurements separate the index of refraction change due to the insulator to me ...

Femtosecond photoelectron and photoion spectrometer with vacuum ultraviolet probe pulses

Jakob Grilj

We describe a femtosecond photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy setup using a simple, novel way to produce a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) probe pulse. We isolate the femtosecond VUV pulse from a high harmonic continuum by using the bandpass characteristics o ...

A Spectroscopic and Computational Study of a Photoinduced Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction of a Stable Semiquinone Radical

Chenyi Yi, Jakob Grilj, Eric Vauthey

Norrish-type-II reaction on a semiquinone radical: Stable semiquinone radicals serve as novel molecular platforms on which a Norrish-type-II photoreaction can be initiated. A detailed reaction scheme involving a 1,5-hydrogen transfer followed by a cyclizat ...
