Quantum and semiclassical studies on photodetachment cross sections of H~- in a harmonic potential

The photodetachment cross section of H~- in a linear harmonic oscillator potential is investigated. This system provides a rare example that can be studied analytically by both quantum and semiclassical methods with some approximations. The formulas of the cross section for different laser polarization directions are explicitly derived by both the traditional quantum approach and closed-orbit theory. In the traditional quantum approach, we calculate the cross sections in coordinate representation and momentum representation, and get the same formulas. We compare the quantum formulas with closed-orbit theory formulas, and find that when the detachment electron energy is larger than3/2hω, where ω is the frequency of the oscillator potential, the quantum results are shown to be in good agreement with the semiclassical results.     

Photo-induced intramolecular electron transfer and intramolecular vibrational relaxation of rhodamine 6G in DMSO revealed by multiplex transient grating spectroscopy

Photo-induced intramolecular electron transfer （PIET） and intramolecular vibrational relaxation （IVR） dynamics of the excited state of rhodamine 6G （Rh6G＋） in DMSO are investigated by multiplex transient grating. Two major compo- nents are resolved in the dynamics of Rh6G＋. The first component, with a lifetime τTPIET = 140 fs-260 fs, is attributed to PIET from the phenyl ring to the xanthene plane. The IVR process occurring in the range ZIVR = 3.3 ps-5.2 ps is much slower than the first component. The PIET and IVR processes occurring in the excited state of Rh6G＋ are quantitatively determined, and a better understanding of the relationship between these processes is obtained.     

Effect of Pressure on Absorption Spectra of Lycopene in n-Hexane and CS2 Solvents

The absorption spectra of lycopene in n-hexane and CS2 are measured under high pressure and the results are compared with β-carotene. In the lower pressure range, the deviation from the linear dependence on the Bayliss parameter （BP） for β-carotene is more visible than that for lycopene. With the further increase of the solvent BP, the 0-0 bands of lycopene and β-carotene red shift at almost the same rate in n-hexane; however, the 0-0 band of lycopene red shifts slower than that of β-carotene in CS2. The origins of these diversities are discussed taking into account the dispersion interactions and structures of solute and solvent molecules.     

二甲基亚砜溶剂中All-trans-astaxanthin的拉曼和红外光谱

The Raman and infrared spectra of all-trans-astaxanthin (AXT) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent were investigated experimentally and theoretically. Density functional cal-culations of the Raman spectra predict the splitting of the υ₁ band into υ_1-1 and υ_1-2 compo-nents. The absence of splitting in Raman experimental spectra is ascribed to the competition between the two symmetric C=C stretching vibrations of the backbone chain. The υ₁ band is very sensitive to the excitation wavelength: resonance excitation stimulates the higher-frequency υ_1-2 mode, and off-resonance excitation corresponds to the lower-frequency υ_1-1 mode. Analyses of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between C=O and O-H in the AXT/DMSO system reveal that the C4=O1...H1-O3 and C4''=O2...H2-O4 bonds are strengthened and weakened, respectively, in the electronically excited state compared with those in the ground state. This result reveals significant variations of the AXT molecular structure in different electronic states.

基于飞秒时间分辨瞬态吸收和多元瞬态光栅光谱技术对全反式Astaxanthin(AXT)在DMSO溶剂中的超快激发态弛豫动力学进行了观测.结果表明,光激发后AXT/DMSO体系直接发生S_0→S_2跃迁,基态漂白对应光谱范围为420~550nm.由S_2→S_1的内转换过程发生的时间常数为120~160fs.S_1态激发态吸收对应的光谱范围为550~740nm,基态漂白恢复过程对应的是S_1→S_0的内转换过程,其时间尺度为4.50~5.50ps.     

水溶性CdTe量子点的稳态和纳秒时间分辨光致发光光谱

报道了以飞秒脉冲激光为激发光源的水溶性CdTe量子点(QDs)的稳态荧光光谱和纳秒时间分辨荧光光谱.实验发现CdTe量子点的荧光光谱峰值位置随激发波长变化发生明显移动，激发脉冲波长越长，荧光峰位红移越大.荧光动力学实验数据显示，在400nm和800nm脉冲激光激发下，水溶性CdTe量子点的荧光光谱中均含有激子态和诱捕态两个衰减成分，两者的发射峰相距很近，诱捕态的发射峰波长较长.在800nm脉冲激光激发下的诱捕态成分占总荧光强度的比重比400nm激发下的约高3倍，其相对强度的这种变化导致了稳态荧光发射峰位的红移. 关键词： CdTe 量子点 时间分辨 荧光光谱 上转换荧光     

Solvent effects on the S0→S2 absorption spectra of β-carotene

Absorption spectra of β-carotene in 31 solvents are measured in ambient conditions. Solvent effects on the 0-0 band energy, the bandwidth, and the transition moment of the S 0 → S 2 transition are analysed. The discrepancies between published results of the solvent effects on the 0-0 band energy are explained by taking into account microscopic solute-solvent interactions. The contributions of polarity and polarizability of solvents to 0-0 band energy and bandwidth are quantitatively distinguished. The 0-0 transition energy of the S 2 state at the gas phase is predicted to locate between 23000 and 23600 cm-1 .     

波数线性校正方法在多烯烃和类胡萝卜素Raman光谱频率校正中的应用

采用密度泛函理论计算了两种类胡萝卜素(β-胡萝卜素和叶黄素) 和几种短链(n=2~5)多烯烃的Raman光谱,用波数线性校正(WLS)方法对计算频率进行了校正,并与常用的几种校正方法作了比较。最常用的单一参数校正(UFS)方法只适用于个别频率的校正,对于所有振动频率的综合校正效果并不理想。WLS方法对于多烯烃和类胡萝卜素的校正结果明显优于UFS方法,校正公式分别为ν_obs／ν_calc=0.999 9-0.000 027 4ν_calc和ν_obs／ν_calc=0.993 8-0.000 024 8ν_calc,这些结果说明WLS方法可以用于类胡萝卜素这样的大分子的频率校正。WLS方法对多烯烃和类胡萝卜素的校正参数非常接近,证明WLS方法对多烯烃的校正结果可以用于类胡萝卜素的频率校正,这为类胡萝卜素频率校正提供了一种新的方法。
