Abstract: | Broadband two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) can assist in understanding complex electronic and vibrational signatures. In this paper, we use 2DES to examine the electronic structure and dynamics of a long chain cyanine dye (1,1-diethyl-4,4-dicarbocyanine iodide, or DDCI-4), a system with a vibrational progression. Using broadband pulses that span the resonant electronic transition, we measure two-dimensional spectra that show a characteristic six peak pattern from coherently excited ground and excited state vibrational modes. We model these features using a spectral density formalism and the vibronic features are assigned to Feynman pathways. We also examine the dynamics of a particular set of peaks demonstrating anticorrelated peak motion, a signature of oscillatory wavepacket dynamics on the ground and excited states. These dynamics, in concert with the general structure of vibronic two-dimensional spectra, can be used to distinguish between pure electronic and vibrational quantum coherences. |
