Title XUV Pump-Probe Experiments on Diatomic Molecules : Tracing the Dynamics of Electron Rearrangement and Interatomic Coulombic Decay Author(s) Schnorr, Kirsten Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. Description XI, 191 p. 95 illus., 25 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This book explores the relaxation dynamics of inner-valence-ionized diatomic molecules on the basis of extreme-ultraviolet pump-probe experiments performed at the free-electron laser (FEL) in Hamburg. Firstly, the electron rearrangement dynamics in dissociating multiply charged iodine molecules is studied in an experiment that made it possible to access charge transfer in a thus far unexplored quasimolecular regime relevant for plasma and chemistry applications of the FEL. Secondly the lifetime of an efficient non-radiative relaxation process that occurs in weakly bound systems is measured directly for the first time in a neon dimer (Ne2). Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) has been identified as the dominant decay mechanism in inner-valence-ionized or excited van-der-Waals and hydrogen bonded systems, the latter being ubiquitous in all biomolecules. The role of ICD in DNA damage thus demands further investigation, e.g. with regard to applications like radiation therapy ISBN,Price 9783319121390 Keyword(s) 1. ATOMS 2.
