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 ...
A joint experimental and first-principles quantum chemical study of the vibration-rotation states of the water molecule up to its first dissociation limit is presented. Triple-resonance, quantum state selective spectroscopy is used to probe the entire ladd ...
We theoretically study the photoluminescence properties of organic-based microcavities with vibronic progressions. We analyze the relaxation from the exciton reservoirs to the polariton anticrossing region; the presence of vibronic levels qualitatively enr ...
Absorption spectra of silane in the region of the first overtone of the Si-H stretch vibration have been recorded in a seeded supersonic jet expansion by cavity ring-down spectroscopy as well as in a static gas cell at room temperature by photoacoustic spe ...
In this work, I present the results of my studies on the state-resolved reactivity of silane (SiH4) on the Si(100)-(2x1) surface. The results demonstrate a co-existence of both a direct and a precursor mediated mechanisms for the dissociative chemisorption ...
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 ...
The structural changes due to formation of electronic bubbles in solid D2 are studied by fluorescence, fluorescence-excitation, and fluorescence-depletion spectroscopy of the lowest Rydberg state, A 2S+(3ss), of the NO impurity. The A X band is strongly bl ...
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 ...
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 ...
In this work, the state-resolved reactivity of methane excited to different C-H stretch vibrations have been measured on a Ni(100) surface. Two kinds of experiments have been performed. In the first series of experiments, we have measured the reactivity of ...
