Vibration and Electronic Dynamics of Photoexcited Molecules in Solution

Abstract

This research focused on three topics that are critical to understanding and exploiting vibrational excita-tion in photoisomerization dynamics. The first aspect is exploring energy flow within a vibrationally ex-cited molecule and into the surrounding the solvent. The second aspect is intercepting the vibrationally excited molecule at different times to promote it to an electronically excited state with energy in selected vibrational motions, and the third aspect is probing the molecule in its excited state.
