• Title: Attosecond imaging of photo-induced dynamics in molecules using time-resolved photoelectron momentum microscopy
• Authors: Marvin Reuner and Daria Popova-Gorelova
• Abstract summary: We theoretically analyze how spatial and temporal dependence of charge migration in a pentacene molecule can be followed by means of time-resolved photoelectron microscopy. We demonstrate that the excited-state dynamics of a neutral pentacene molecule in the real space map onto unique features of photoelectron momentum maps.

• Abstract: We explore the novel capabilities offered by attosecond extreme ultraviolet and x-ray pulses that can be now generated by free-electron lasers and high-harmonics generation sources for probing photon-induced electron dynamics in molecules. We theoretically analyze how spatial and temporal dependence of charge migration in a pentacene molecule can be followed by means of time-resolved photoelectron microscopy on the attosecond time scale. Performing the analysis, we accurately take into account that an attosecond probe pulse leads to considerable spectral broadening. We demonstrate that the excited-state dynamics of a neutral pentacene molecule in the real space map onto unique features of photoelectron momentum maps.

We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  Quantum coherence between electronic states of a photoionized molecule and the resulting process of ultrafast electron-hole migration has been put forward as a possible quantum mechanism of charge-directed reactivity governing the photoionization-induced molecular decomposition. Here, we use x-rays both to create and to directly probe quantum coherence in the photoionized amino acid glycine. Delayed x-ray pulses track the induced coherence through resonant x-ray absorption that induces Auger decay and by the photoelectron emission from sequential double photoionization.
