摘要:
Ultrafast dynamics of o-xylene cation has been studied by time resolved fs-photofragmentation (PF) spectroscopy in combination with photoelectron imaging (PEI). In the experiment, multiphoton ionization is used to prepare the o-xylene cation characterized by PEI. The ultrafast dynamics of o-xylene ions are measured by monitoring the time dependent parent-ion depletion and the fragment-ion formation, simultaneously. An ultrafast relaxation time of the parent ion of 734 (+/- 61) fs has been observed. The PEI-PF measurements support the interpretation of this relaxation channel to a combination of internal conversion between the two ionic states (D-0 and D-1) and intramolecular vibrational-energy redistribution process within the D-0 state.
