Influence of laser fields on the vibrational population of molecules and its wave-packet dynamical investigation

The time-dependent wave packet method is used to investigate the influence of laser-fields on the vibrational population of molecules.For a two-state system in laser fields,the populations on different vibrational levels of the upper and lower electronic states are given by wavefunctions obtained by solving the Schro¨dinger equation with the splitoperator method.The calculation shows that the field parameters,such as intensity,wavelength,duration,and delay time etc.can have different influences on the vibrational population.By varying the laser parameters appropriately one can control the evolution of wave packet and so the vibrational population in each state,which will benefit the light manipulation of atomic and molecular processes.     

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.     

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.     

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.

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.

The wave packet dynamic information of the 6¹∑⁺ state can be extracted from the photoelectron energy spectra.

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.

Spin-orbit coupling of the NaK 3Π and 3Π states: Determination of the coupling constant and observation of quantum interference effects

We have studied the mutually perturbing 3³Π_Ω=0(v = 32, J = 19) ∼ 3¹Π_Ω=1(v = 6, J = 19) levels of NaK that are coupled together by the spin-orbit interaction. We note that this coupling is nominally forbidden by the ΔΩ = 0 selection rule for spin-orbit perturbations. However 3³Π levels labeled by different values of Ω are mixed by rotational coupling; i.e. the 3³Π_Ω levels are best described by a coupling scheme intermediate between Hund’s cases (a) and (b). Thus the 3¹Π_Ω=1 level couples to the 3³Π_Ω=0 level via the small admixture of 3³Π_Ω=1 character in the latter. The 3³Π_Ω=0(v = 32, J = 19) ∼ 3¹Π_Ω=1(v = 6, J = 19) f symmetry pair is of particular interest since it appears to be very close to a 50-50 mixture of triplet and singlet character, and the splitting between these levels provides a direct measure of the 3³Π ∼ 3¹Π spin-orbit coupling constant. On the other hand, excitation spectra of the 3³Π_Ω=0(v = 32, J = 19) ∼ 3¹Π_Ω=1(v = 6, J = 19) e symmetry pair through the mixed “window” levels 1(b)³Π_Ω=0(v = 17, J = 18, 20) ∼ 2(A)¹Σ⁺(v = 18, J = 18, 20) display dramatic quantum interference effects associated with “singlet” and “triplet” excitation channels. Almost complete cancellation for populating one or the other of the two upper states is observed for excitation from the predominantly triplet members of the window level pairs.     

Time-dependent quantum dynamics study for reaction of D+CH4→CH3+HD

The semirigid vibrating rotor target (SVRT) model has been applied to the study of the reaction of D+CH_4→CH_3+HD using a time-dependent wave packet method. The energy dependence of the calculated reaction probability shows oscillatory structures similar to those observed in the abstraction reaction of H+H_2, H+CH_4 etc. We have also studied the influence of rotational and vibrational excitation of the reacting molecule (CH_4) on reaction probability. The excitation of the H－CH_3 stretching vibration gives significant enhancement of reaction probability, which rises significantly with the enhancement of rotational quantum number j. Finally, we have compared the cross section and the rate constant of the D+CH_4 system with that of the H+CH_4 system.

Time-dependent approach to the double-channel dissociation of the NaCs molecule induced by pulsed lasers

The dynamics of the double-channel dissociation of the NaCs molecule is investigated by using the time-dependent wave packet （TDWP） method with the ＂split operator-Fourier transform＂ scheme. At a given wavelength and intensity of laser pulse, the population of each state changing with time is obtained. The photo-absorption spectra and kinetic- energy distribution of the dissociation fragments, which exhibit vibration-level structure and dispersion of the wave packet, respectively, are also obtained. The results show that by increasing the laser intensity, one can find not only the band center shift of the photo-absorption spectrum, but also the change of the fragment energy. The appearance of the diffusive band in the photo-absorption spectrum and the multiple peaks in the kinetic-energy spectrum can be attributed to the effects of the predissoeiation limit and the external field.
