Femtosecond Studies of Electron Photodetachment of Simple Ions in Liquid Water: Solvation and Geminate Recombination Dynamics.

摘要

Aqueous solutions of simple ions such as OH(-) and Cl(-) have fascinated many scientists. In this communication we present the first femtosecond time-resolve studies of electron photodetachment in aqueous solution. The solvation of the ejected electron in the aqueous media and the subsequent recombination dynamics of the neutral atom with the electron have been measured. Relevant to this are several recent experimental studies of electrons in neat liquids using femtosecond lasers. Keywords: Photoionization; Recombination reactions; Reprints.
