Using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) nonlinear nonperturbative response of the molecular system is studied for photoisomerization reaction. The 1,3-cyclohexadiene photoisomerization is probed by the high-harmonic…
The photochemically induced ring-opening isomerization reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) to 1,3,5-hexatriene (HT) is a textbook example of a pericyclic reaction, and has been amply investigated with advanced spectroscopic techniques. The…
We establish time-resolved high harmonic generation (tr-HHG) as a powerful spectroscopy for photoinduced dynamics in strongly correlated materials through a detailed investigation of the insulator-to-metal transitions in vanadium dioxide.…
We use spectral unmixing to determine the number of transient photoproducts and to track their evolution following the photo- excitation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) to form 1,3,5-hexatriene (HT) in the gas phase. The ring opening is…
The ultrafast photoinduced ring-opening of 1,3-cyclohexadiene constitutes a textbook example of electrocyclic reactions in organic chemistry and a model for photobiological reactions in vitamin D synthesis. Here, we present direct and…
Photoinduced isomerization reactions, including ring-opening reactions, lie at the heart of many processes in nature. The mechanisms of such reactions are determined by a delicate interplay of coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics…
The conversion of photon energy into other energetic forms in molecules is accompanied by charge moving on ultrafast timescales. We directly observe the charge motion at a specific site in an electronically excited molecule using…
Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we study the response of metallic single layer TaS$_2$ in the 1H structural modification to the generation of excited carriers by a femtosecond laser pulse. A complex interplay of…
Time-resolved coincidence imaging of photoelectrons and photoions represents the most complete experimental measurement of ultrafast excited state dynamics, a multi-dimensional measurement for a multi-dimensional problem. Here we present…
We study the ultrafast dynamics initiated by a coherent superposition of core-excited states of nitrous oxide molecule. Using high-level \textit{ab-initio} methods, we show that the decoherence caused by the electronic decay and the nuclear…
High-harmonic spectroscopy (HHS) in liquids promises real-time access to ultrafast electronic dynamics in the native environment of chemical and biological processes. While electron recollision has been established as the dominant mechanism…
High harmonic emissions from crystalline solids contain rich information on the dynamics of electrons driven by intense infrared laser fields and have been intensively studied owing to their potential use as a probe of microscopic…

We present a femtosecond time-resolved optical spectroscopy (TRS) as an experimental tool to probe the changes in the low energy electronic density of states as a result of short and long range charge density wave order. In these…
Conical intersections play a pivotal role in excited-state quantum dynamics. Capturing transient molecular structures near conical intersections remains challenging due to the rapid timescales and subtle structural changes involved. We…
Understanding the relaxation pathways of photoexcited molecules is essential to gain atomistic level insight into photochemistry. Herein, we perform a time-resolved study of ultrafast molecular symmetry breaking via geometric relaxation…
We theoretically study high-harmonic generation (HHG) from transition metal elements Mn and Mn$^+$, using full-dimensional, all-electron, first-principles simulations. The HHG spectra calculated with the time-dependent complete-active-space…
The presence of two chlorine atoms in 1,2-dichloroethene allows for isomerisation around the double bond. This isomerisation can lead to rich photochemistry. We present a time-resolved pump-probe photoelectron spectroscopy measurement on…
