Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy for Excited State Dynamics

  • Chapter
Book cover Ultrafast Phenomena in Molecular Sciences

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 107))

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) for unravelling excited state dynamics in polyatomic molecules. It begins with a brief introduction to the basics of nonadiabatic dynamics in polyatomic molecules. This is followed by a description of the principles behind TRPES and a discussion of the roles of the ionisation continuum. We then describe the experimental toolkit, from light and molecule sources to photoelectron spectrometers. Finally, we describe several examples where TRPES has been employed to unravel non-adiabatic dynamics in polyatomic molecules.
