Photodesorption of excited iodine atoms from KI (100)
Band-to-band photoexcitation of potassium iodide single crystals with UV photons produces thermal and hyperthermal I-atom emission in both the ground I(2P3/2) and spin-orbit excited I*(2P1/2) states. ...

Water structure, dynamics, and vibrational spectroscopy in sodium bromide solutions
We study theoretically the steady-state and ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy, in the OD-stretch region, of dilute HOD in aqueous solutions of sodium bromide. Based on electronic-structure calculatio...

We demonstrate three-dimensional (3D) electronic Fourier transform spectroscopy of GaAs quantum wells using four fully phase-coherent, noncollinear optical fields. Since the full complex signal field is measured as a function of all three time intervals, nearly every peak in the resulting 3D spectral solid arises from a distinguishable sequence of transitions represented by a single Feynman pathway. We use the 3D spectral peaks to separate two pathways involving weakly bound mixed biexcitons generated in different time orders. In the process, we reveal a peak that was previously obscured by a correlated but unbound exciton pair coherence. We also demonstrate a calibration procedure for the carrier frequency which yields biexciton binding energy values with high accuracy. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
