Transient evolution of quasifree electrons of plasma in liquid water revealed by optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy

Abstract: The fundamental properties of laser-induced plasma in liquid water, such as the ultrafast electron migration and solvation, have not yet been clarified. We use 1650-nm femtosecond laser pulses to induce the plasma in a stable free-flowing water film under the strong field ionization mechanism. Moreover, we adopt intense terahertz (THz) pulses to probe the ultrafast temporal evolution of quasifree electrons of the laserinduced plasma in water on the subpicosecond scale. For the first time, the THz wave absorpti… Show more

“…When the intensity of the visible electromagnetic radiation is high enough, photoionization of water molecules can occur in the liquid phase. As has been confirmed in many experimental and theoretical studies, the fully relaxed, solvated, or hydrated aqueous electrons are generated in less than ( 6 13 ). In previous papers, it was proposed that the electronic charge density is localized in a cavity with a radius of ( 14 16 ) and surrounded by water molecules ( 17 , 18 ), two of which are hydrogen bonded to the electron and the other two participating in the water–water network.…”

“…The DS model is given by , where ω p 2 = e 2 N /ε 0 m * is the plasma frequency, N is the charge carrier density, m * is the carrier effective mass, ε 0 is the vacuum permittivity, and τ is the electron momentum relaxation time. The Smith parameter c denotes the backscattering parameter constant (between −1 and 0), where c = −1 corresponds to full backscattering and c = 0 implies full momentum random scattering, and eq reduces to the classic Drude formula. , Panels a and b of Figure summarize the results of the DS model fitting the frequency-dependent complex conductivity of the P/G heterostructure at 0 and 2 ps delay times with 1300 nm excitation, respectively (the fitting results are listed in part 3 of the Supporting Information).…”
