Molecular Orbital Imaging of the AcetoneS2Excited State Using Time-Resolved (e,2e) Electron Momentum Spectro

Abstract: We report a time-resolved (e, 2e) experiment on the deuterated acetone molecule in the S2 Rydberg state with a lifetime of 13.5 ps. The acetone S2 state was prepared by a 195 nm pump laser and probed with electron momentum spectroscopy using a 1.2 keV incident electron beam of 1 ps temporal width. In spite of the low data statistics as well as of the limited time resolution (±35  ps) due to velocity mismatch, the experimental results clearly demonstrate that electron momentum spectroscopy measurements of short… Show more

“…On the other hand, the recent advances in ultrashort electron pulses allowing one to achieve 4D electron diffraction3456 as well as 4D electron microscopy4647. The most recent work4849 also demonstrated the feasibility of time-resolved EMS measurements of short-lived transient species, where an ultrashort photon pulse is used for exciting the dynamics of interest and an ultrashort electron pulse is applied to probe the system as a function of the delay time between them. Therefore, by employing the new approach of the present work as well as ultrashort electron pulses, EMS has the potential to apply to ultrafast imaging of the molecular dynamics by exploring not only the change of electron densities but also the change of molecular structures for transient species.…”

“…Recent advances in electron sources have recently lead to ultrafast time-resolved electron scattering experiments [29,30], however direct time-resolved studies of a transient metastable anion formed by electron attachment remain experimentally intractable due the very short timescales of single molecule dissociation that demand even higher time resolution. Considerable technical challenges remain that must be overcome to produce and transport low energy electrons with a pulse duration less than ∼100 fs [29,30,31,32]. On the other hand, the experimental approaches that interrogate the final states following DEA can lend much insight into these dynamics.…”
