Deciphering the internal conversion and triplet formation in thymine via time-resolved multi-center X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Xiaojun Wang, Woojin Park, Dennis Mayer +12
The photostability of DNA nucleobases relies on ultrafast nonradiative relaxation following ultraviolet excitation. In thymine, the competition between internal conversion (IC) and…
Valence photoelectron spectra of thiouracils in the gas phase
Dennis Mayer, Evgenii Titov, Fabiano Lever +6
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the vibrationally resolved valence photoelectron spectra of the complete series of thiouracils (2-thiouracil, 4-thiourac…
X-ray Coulomb explosion imaging reveals role of molecular structure in internal conversion
Till Jahnke, Sebastian Mai, Surjendu Bhattacharyya +26
Molecular photoabsorption results in an electronic excitation/ionization which couples to the rearrangement of the nuclei. The resulting intertwined change of nuclear and electroni…
Tuning confined states and valley g-factors by quantum dot design in bilayer graphene
Dennis Mayer, Angelika Knothe
Electrostatically confined quantum dots in bilayer graphene have shown potential as building blocks for quantum technologies. To operate the dots, e.g., as qubits, a precise unders…
Unexpected hydrogen dissociation in thymine: predictions from a novel coupled cluster theory
Eirik F. Kjønstad, O. Jonathan Fajen, Alexander C. Paul +6
The fate of thymine upon excitation by ultraviolet radiation has been the subject of intense debate over the past three decades. Today, it is widely believed that its ultrafast exc…
Following excited-state chemical shifts in molecular ultrafast x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Dennis Mayer, Fabiano Lever, David Picconi +17
The conversion of photon energy into other energetic forms in molecules is accompanied by charge moving on ultrafast timescales. We directly observe the charge motion at a specific…
