Wave packet dynamics in triplet states of Na-2 attached to helium Nanodroplets
The dynamics of vibrational wave packets excited in Na-2 dimers in the triplet ground and excited states is investigated by means of helium nanodroplet isolation (HENDI) combined with femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Different pathways in the employed resonant multiphoton ionization scheme are identified. Within the precision of the method, the wave packet dynamics appears to be unperturbed by the helium droplet environment.
