Temporal evolution of transient absorption spectra for pre-solvated electron (e-) generated by biphotonic (200 nm) ionization of liquid H2O and D2O has been studied on femto- and pico- second time scales. These spectra were obtained in the…
In this experiment liquid water is subject to an inhomogeneous electric field (${\nabla}^2 E_a {\approx} 10^{10} \frac{V}{m^2}$ ) using a high voltage (20 kV) point-plane electrode system. With interferometry it was found that the…
Molecular hydrogen normally has only weak, quadrupole transitions between its rovibrational states, but in a static electric field it acquires a dipole moment and a set of allowed transitions. Here we use published ab initio calculations of…
