Application of a two-color free-electron laser to condensed-matter molecular dynamics
Dana D. Dlott,Michael D. Fayer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss how a one-color and a two-color FEL can be used for experimental measurements of condensed-matter molecular dynamics and provide a model calculation to determine the feasibility of these experimental measurements.
Three homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystals: comparison of ultrafast to slow time-scale dynamics.
TL;DR: The dynamics of two nematic liquid crystals are investigated as a function of temperature both in the homeotropically aligned nematic phase and in the isotropic phase using optical heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect experiments, which measures the time derivative of the polarizability-polarIZability-correlation function (orientational relaxation).
Dynamics of dihydrogen bonding in aqueous solutions of sodium borohydride.
TL;DR: This paper examines the dynamics experienced by both borohydride and its dihydrogen-bound water solvent using 2D-IR vibrational echo and IR pump-probe spectroscopies, as well as FT-IR linear absorption experiments, and finds that both the water and borhydride undergo similar spectral diffusion dynamics, and these are very similar to those of HOD in bulk water.
A coherent photoacoustic approach to excited-state-excited-state absorption spectroscopy: application to the investigation of a near-resonant contribution to ultrasonic diffraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a coherent photoacoustic method for measuring weak absorptions is extended to excited-state-excited-state spectroscopy for which conventional acoustic and thermal lensing techniques are greatly reduced in sensitivity.
The influence of mesoscopic confinement on the dynamics of imidazolium-based room temperature ionic liquids in polyether sulfone membranes
TL;DR: The structural dynamics of a series of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide room temperature ionic liquids confined in the pores of polyether sulfone membranes with an average pore size of ∼350 nm and in the bulk liquids were studied.
