Nonadiabatic effects in attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy

Abstract

We study effects of nonadiabatic couplings in a model of a diatomic molecule in the context of attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. By using a model system consisting of four diabatic electronic states and with a variable strength of the diabatic coupling, we can explore attosecond transient absorption spectra in different regimes of the vibronic couplings between the electronic and nuclear dynamics, and determine when nonadiabatic couplings can be ignored or when they have a substantial effect. The findings are rationalized in terms of a multilevel model, which captures aspects of both electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom.
