Abstract

Single 9.6 fs deep ultraviolet pulses with a spectral range of 255–290 nm are generated by a chirped-pulse four-wave mixing technique for use as pump and probe pulses. The electronic excited state and vibrational dynamics are simultaneously observed for an aqueous solution of uracil and thymine over the full spectral range using a 128-channel lock-in amplifier detector. Two probe photon energy-dependent lifetimes gradually increasing with the probe photon energy are obtained from the decay dynamics data. Ultrafast decay dynamics through the conical intersection is assigned from the first excited ππ* to the final ground state involving the nπ* states. Vibrational modes of the electronic ground state and excited states can be observed, which are strongly coupled to the decay dynamics of the electronic excited state.

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.
