Cooling Dynamics Of Photoexcited C-6(-) And C6h-
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2014)
摘要
We report conclusive evidence of an efficient cooling mechanism via the electronic radiative transitions of hot small molecular anions isolated in vacuum. We stored C-6(-) and C6H- in an ion storage ring and observed laser-induced electron detachment with delays up to several milliseconds. The terminal hydrogen atom caused a drastic change in the decay profiles. The decay of photoexcited C6H- is slow and nonexponential, which can be explained by depletion cooling, whereas that for C-6(-) occurs extremely fast, on a time scale below 0.1 ms and can only be explained by electronic radiative cooling via low-lying electronic excited states.
