Transition Dipole-Solvent Interaction in Photoionization.
Abstract
The interaction between solvent molecules and transition dipoles results in a measurable nonequilibrium contribution (dispersion shift) to the energetics of photoionization in the case of significant dielectric dispersion of the solvent at the prevailing photon energy. Two nonequilibrium contributions to the photoionization free energy of liquids and solutions therefore must be considered: (i) the electronic contribution discussed here (dispersion shift) and (ii) the free energy of nuclear reorganization 5. The functional dependence of the dispersion shift on photon energy is accounted for by theory in agreement with experiment.
