Ultrafast nuclear dynamics induced by photodetachment of Ag2− and Ag2O2−: oxygen desorption from a molecular silver surface
Abstract
Femtosecond nuclear dynamics of mass-selected neutral Ag2 and Ag2O2 clusters are investigated with the ‘negative ion–to neutral–to positive ion’
(NeNePo) technique. For the bare silver dimer, wave packet dynamics occurring in the neutral electronic ground state and in the first excited triplet state are observed after photodetachment from the anion with 3.05 eV
