We report ultrafast charge migration in ionized iodo-alkyne chain I(CC) nH+ for n = 1, 2, …, 5. The dynamics of electron density become more complicated with the increasing length of the molecular chain. However, the essential properties of charge migration in I(CC) nH+ can be clearly interpreted in terms of the electron flux. By systematic investigations of the dynamics of electron density, hole density, and the electron flux for different molecules, the size dependence of charge migration in I(CC) nH+ is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
