RESUMEN
Coherent control of molecular photodissociation through one-photon transitions has become a topic of interest in physical chemistry. Previous studies have shown that modulating the spectral phase of a single ultrafast laser pulse while keeping its spectral amplitude constant does not affect the dissociation yield of reactions originating from a pure eigenstate of the ground electronic state. Here, we explore the indirect photodissociation reaction of NaI molecules using theoretical and numerical methods. Our findings show that, in contrast to the outcomes achieved with negatively chirped pulses, time-dependent population of the eigenstates of the excited adiabatic potential induced by positively chirped laser pulses, acting as intermediates in the reaction, cannot be periodically restored to that caused by the unchirped pulse. This gives rise to an intriguing phenomenon: the sign of the pulse's chirp rate influences the distribution of dissociation fragments in coordinate and momentum space over extended periods. This work highlights the potential of using spectral-phase modulated pulses to manipulate indirect photodissociation reactions, offering a way to modify the transient photofragment distributions by controlling reaction intermediates.
RESUMEN
The modification of dissolved organic matter (DOM) degradation by plant carbon inputs represents a critical biogeochemical process that controls carbon dynamics. However, the priming effects (PEs) different plant tissues induce on the degradation of DOM pools with different stabilities remain unknown. In this study, PEs, induced by different tissue leachates of Phragmites australis, were evaluated via changes in DOM components and properties of both fresh and tidal water (with different stabilities). The results showed that DOM derived from different plant tissue leachates differed in composition and bioavailability. Inputs of tissue leachates induced PEs with different intensities and directions (negative or positive) on DOM degradation of fresh and tidal water. In fresh water, the PEs of leaf and root leachates were significantly higher than those of stem and rhizome leachates. The PE direction changed for DOM degradation between fresh and tidal water. The addition of leaf and root leachates tended to induce positive PEs on DOM degradation of fresh water, while resulting in negative PEs on DOM degradation of tidal water. Negative PEs for tidal water DOM may be due to preferential utilization of microbes, high salinity, and/or the promotion of exogenous DOM production from plant tissues. The results indicate that intensity and direction of PEs induced by plant leachates depend on both leachate type and water stability. The findings highlight the necessity to examine the nature of exogenous and native DOM when interpreting the interactive processes that regulate DOM degradation.

The electronic structure of a cleaved perovskite (CH3NH3PbBr3) single crystal was studied in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and inverse photoelectron spectroscopy (IPES). Highly reproducible dispersive features of the valence bands were observed with symmetry about the Brillouin zone center and boundaries. The largest dispersion width was found to be â¼0.73 eV and â¼0.98 eV along the ΓX and ΓM directions, respectively. The effective mass of the holes was estimated to be â¼0.59m0. The quality of the surface was verified using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The elemental composition was investigated using high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental electronic structure shows a good agreement with the theoretical calculation.
RESUMEN
We report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments probing deep into the hidden-order state of URu(2)Si(2), utilizing tunable photon energies with sufficient energy and momentum resolution to detect the near Fermi-surface (FS) behavior. Our results reveal (i) the full itinerancy of the 5f electrons, (ii) the crucial three-dimensional k-space nature of the FS and its critical nesting vectors, in good comparison with density-functional theory calculations, and (iii) the existence of hot-spot lines and pairing of states at the FS, leading to FS gapping in the hidden-order phase.
