Theoretical simulation of the photoassociation process for NaCs

We investigate the two-step association process of NaCs using the time-dependent wave packet method.Ground state atoms can be photoassociated to the low vibrational levels of the ground state for an NaCs molecule by the two-step association.The time-dependent Schro¨dinger equation of the association process is solved within a three-state model and the wave packet is propagated with the "split operator-Fourier transform" scheme and the rotating-wave approximation(RWA).The vibrational population distribution of the ground state can be obtained by projecting the wave packet to every vibrational level of the ground state.The results not only show that for NaCs achievement of photoassociation production is accompanied by the photodissociation of the higher vibrational molecules,but also show that the vibrational distribution in lower vibrational levels of the ground state changes with the laser parameters.     

Manifestation of external field effect in time-resolved photo-dissociation dynamics of LiF

The photo-dissociation dynamics of LiF is investigated with newly constructed accurate ab initio potential energy curves (PECs) using the time-dependent quantum wave packet method. The oscillations and decay of the wave packet on the adiabats as a function of time are given, which can be compared with the femtosecond transition-state (FTS) spectroscopy. The photo-absorption spectra and the kinetic-energy distribution of the dissociation fragments, which can exhibit the vibration-level structure and the dispersion of the wave packet, respectively, are also obtained. The investigation shows a blue shift of the band center for the photo-absorption spectrum and multiple peaks in the kinetic-energy spectrum with increasing laser intensity, which can be attributed to external field effects. By analyzing the oscillations of the wave packet evolving on the upper adiabat, an approximate inversion scheme is devised to roughly deduce its shape.     

Theoretical study of the influence of intense femtosecond laser field on the evolution of the wave packet and the population of NaRb molecule

Employing the two-state model and the time-dependent wave packet method, we have investigated the influences of the parameters of the intense femtosecond laser field on the evolution of the wave packet, as well as the population of ground and double-minimum electronic states of the NaRb molecule. For the different laser wavelengths, the evolution of the wave packet of 6{ }^1\Sigma ^ + state with time and internuclear distance is different, and the different laser intensity brings different influences on the population of the electronic states of the NaRb molecule. One can control the evolutions of wave packet and the population in each state by varying the laser parameters appropriately, which will be a benefit for the light manipulation of atomic and molecular processes.

双原子分子多光子电离强场效应的含时波包动力学研究

强激光非线性条件下分子的多光子电离过程呈现出较为明显的强场效应.由于这种效应不能用传统的量子微扰论来处理,“缀饰态”模型方法提供了物理图象清晰的处理光与物质相互作用的方案.本文基于含时波包动力学的基本理论,将激光场看作经典场,利用“缀饰态”模型研究了强场下双原子分子(NO、RbI等)的多光子电离过程.研究表明,激光场的强度、泵浦-探测脉冲延迟时间等对多光子电离光电子能谱的形状有着重要的影响,而这种影响是由光诱导势引起的.另外,在研究具有两个连续态的RbI体系时,自电离现象的发生也与势能面的交叉密切相关,并受外场强度的影响.本文计算模拟外场中分子的光电子能谱时所得到的强场效应对理解和实现原子分子过程的激光操控具有重要的意义.

Time-dependent theoretical approach to the influence of laser fields on the resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization of SH radical

This paper reports that the (2+1) resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization spectra of SH radical in external fields are simulated using the split-operator scheme of time-dependent wave-packet method. Two ionic states, i.e.~a¹Δ and b¹∑⁺, are involved in the simulation. It gives the simulated photoelectron spectra, the population in each electronic state, as well as the projection of the wave-packet in each electronic state on different vibrational states. These results show that the so-called four-state model can represent the experimental results well.     

Quantum dynamics studies on the non-adiabatic effects of H + LiD reaction

After the Big Bang, chemical reactions of hydrogen with LiH and its isotopic variants played an important role in the late stage of recombination. Moreover, these reactions have attracted the attention of experts in the field of molecular dynamics because of its simple structure. Electronically non-adiabatic effects play a key role in many chemical reactions, while the related studies in LiH₂ reactive system and its isotopic variants are not enough, so the microscopic mechanism of this system has not been fully explored. In this work, the microscopic mechanism of H + LiD reaction are performed by comparing both the adiabatic and non-adiabatic results to study the non-adiabatic effects. The reactivity of R1 (H + LiD → Li + HD) channel is inhibited, while that of R2 (H + LiD → D + LiH) channel is enhanced when the non-adiabatic couplings are considered. For R1 channel, a direct stripping process dominates this channel and the main reaction mechanism is not influenced by the non-adiabatic effects. For R2 channel, at relatively low collision energy, the dominance changes from a rebound process to the complex-forming mechanism when the non-adiabatic effects are considered, whereas the rebound collision approach still dominates the reaction at relatively high collision energy in both calculations. The presented results provide a basis for further detailed study on this importantly astrophysical reaction system.

The effect of field modulation on the vibrational population of the photoassociated NaK and its dynamics

This paper presents calculation results for the photoassociation of a NaK molecule with a two-color modulated laser and gives a detailed analysis about them.For the two-step photoassociation process in intense fields,the effect of two-color modulated laser parameters,such as relative phase,envelope period,and laser intensity,on the population of the molecular electronic state can be obtained by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation through the quantum wave packet method.The numerical simulation shows not only that the influence of laser parameters on the vibrational distribution presents some regularity,but also that a higher population in the ground electronic state can be realized through adjusting these laser parameters.     

Time-dependent density functional theoretical studies on the photo-induced dynamics of an HCI molecule encapsulated in C60 under femtosecond laser pulses

By using first-principles simulations based on time-dependent density functional theory, the chemical reaction of an HCl molecule encapsulated in C60 induced by femtosecond laser pulses is observed. The H atom starts to leave the Cl atom and is reflected by the C60 wall. The coherent nuclear dynamic behaviors of bond breakage and recombination of the HCl molecule occurring in both polarized parallel and perpendicular to the H-Cl bond axis are investigated. The radial oscillation is also found in the two polarization directions of the laser pulse. The relaxation time of the H-Cl bond lengths in transverse polarization is slow in comparison with that in longitudinal polarization. Those results are important for studying the dynamics of the chemical bond at an atomic level.

Photoassociation of NaRb with an asymmetric laser pulse

We investigate the photoassociation dynamics of cold NaRb molecule controlled by an asymmetric laser pulse called slowly-turned-on and rapidly-turned-off (STRT) laser pulse. This new shaped laser pulse has a remarkable merit, compared with the typical Gauss-type pulses, so that we can efficiently associate molecules with the state expected instead of going back to the continuum state. Using the three-state model, we solve the quantum mechanical equation with the “split operator-Fourier transform” method under the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) in propagation of the wave packet. By the projection of the obtained wave function onto each vibrational state, we can get the vibrational population of the ground electronic state. The results reveal that, with the STRT laser pulse, an efficient photoassociation process can be achieved and the vibrational distribution in the ground state can be controlled by the laser parameters.
