The circular dichroism (CD) induced by femtosecond laser pulse excitation of 3-methyl-cyclopentanone has been investigated by means of experiment and theory as a function of the laser pulse duration. In the experiment the CD in ion yields is measured by femtosecond laser ionization via a one-photon resonant excited state. In the theoretical part the CD is calculated by solving laser driven quantum electron dynamics for the same resonant excitation based on ab initio electronic structure calculations employing a complete description of the electric field–electric dipole and magnetic field–magnetic dipole interactions. Both the experimentally measured CD in ion yields and the calculated CD in excited state populations exhibit a marked increase of the CD for pulse duration increasing from 50 fs to about 200 fs. Beyond 200 fs pulse duration the CD levels off. The combination of experimental and theoretical evidences indicates that the CD decreases with increasing laser intensity connected to the increased coupling between the excited states.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
