Newly available, powerful infrared laser sources enable the preparation of intense molecular beams of quantum-state prepared and aligned molecules for gas/surface reaction dynamics experiments. We present a stereodynamics study of the chemisorption of vibr ...
We have measured the rovibrational levels in the electronic ground state of the water molecule at the previously inaccessible energies above 26000 cm-1. The use of laser double-resonance overtone excitation combined with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) ph ...
We report on a first-principles investigation of the structural and vibrational properties of vitreous germania (v-GeO2). Our work focuses on a periodic model structure of 168 atoms, but three smaller models are also studied for comparison. We first carry ...
Spectra of jet-cooled methanol in the overtone and combination region from 5000 to, 14000 cm(-1) have been obtained by means of infrared laser-assisted photofragment spectroscopy. Many of the observed features are assigned to combination bands of the type ...
This thesis reports on results of three different experiments of photo-induced structural dynamics in the condensed phase, investigated by time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with femtosecond time-resolution. In the first part, we address the ultrafast d ...
Using a density-functional approach, we calculate the principal vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO2 and vitreous GeO2 and discuss their analogies and differences. For both glasses, we generate model structures consisting of a random network of corner-shar ...
Using the Submillimeter Array we have detected the J = 3-2 and 2-1 rotational transitions from within the first vibrationally excited state of CO toward the extreme carbon star IRC+10216 (CW Leo). The emission remains spatially unresolved with an angular r ...
Disordered oxides, such as vitreous silica (v-SiO2) and vitreous germania, (v-GeO2) and chalcogenide glasses, such as vitreous germanium diselenide (v-GeSe2) are currently key materials in many technological fields, ranging from Si-based microelectronic to ...
We describe the use of stimulated Raman pumping in a molecular beam to perform quantum state resolved gas-surface reactivity measurements for molecules prepared in totally symmetric vibrational states. Vibrational states of homonuclear diatomics as well as ...
