Hitherto unrecognized intermolecular Coulombic decay mechanism in gases
Alan G. Falkowski, Alexander I. Kuleff, Lorenz S. Cederbaum
Excited atoms and molecules can utilize their excess energy to ionize a neighboring system by a process named interatomic and intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD). ICD is ultrafast…
Interplay of protection and damage through intermolecular processes in the decay of electronic core holes in microsolvated organic molecules
Dana BloÃ, Nikolai V. Kryzhevoi, Jonas Maurmann +11
Soft X-ray irradiation of molecules causes electronic core-level vacancies through photoelectronemission. In light elements, such as C, N, or O, which are abundant in the biosphere…
Core-hole Coherent Spectroscopy in Molecules
Emilio RodrÃguez-Cuenca, Antonio Picón, Solène Oberli +2
We study the ultrafast dynamics initiated by a coherent superposition of core-excited states of nitrous oxide molecule. Using high-level \textit{ab-initio} methods, we show that th…
Stimulated emission of virtual photons: Energy transfer by light
Lorenz S. Cederbaum, Alexander I. Kuleff
Energy-transfer processes can be viewed as being due to the emission of a virtual photon. It is demonstrated that the emission of virtual photons and thus of energy transfer is sti…
