We present an analytical model for intermolecular Coulombic electron capture (ICEC) which includes the internal nuclear dynamics of the molecules involved. In ICEC, an electron attaches to an atom or molecule by transferring excess energy…
We recently predicted that the interatomic Coulombic electron capture (ICEC) process, a long-range electron correlation driven capture process, is achievable in gated double quantum dots (DQDs). In ICEC an incoming electron is captured by…
Light-induced molecular dynamics often involve the excitation of several electronic, vibrational, and rotational states. Since the ensuing electronic and nuclear motion determines the pathways and outcomes of photoinduced reactions, our…
When a vacancy is created in an inner-valence orbital of a dimer of atoms or molecules, the resulting species can undergo interatomic/intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD): the hole is filled through a relaxation process that leads to a…
In interatomic Coulombic electron capture, the capture of a free electron at an atomic center is accompanied by the radiationless transfer of the excess energy to a neighboring atom of different species, leading to ionization of the latter.…
The dynamics and processes involved in particle-molecule scattering, including nuclear dynamics, are described and analyzed using various quantum information quantities throughout the different stages of the scattering. The main process…
Nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) is an important nuclear excitation mechanism which still lacks conclusive experimental verification. This is primarily attributed to strong background x-/$\gamma$-ray noise and competing nuclear…
To exploit the high intensity of laser radiation, we propose to select frequencies at which single-photon absorption is of too low energy and two or more photons are needed to produce states of an atom that can undergo interatomic Coulombic…
We investigate how vibration affects molecular photoemission dynamics, through simulations on two-dimension asymmetric model molecules including the electronic and nuclear motions in a fully correlated way. We show that a slight anisotropy…
Electron removal in collisions of alpha particles with neon dimers is studied using an independent-atom-independent-electron model based on the semiclassical approximation of heavy-particle collision physics. The dimer is assumed to be…
Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is a mechanism which allows microscopic objects to rapidly exchange energy. When the two objects are distant, the energy transfer between the donor and acceptor species takes place via the exchange of a…
In the process of interatomic Coulombic electron capture, an incident free electron is captured at an atomic center $A$ and the transition energy is transferred radiationlessly over a rather large distance to a neighboring atom $B$ of…
We provide the experimental evidence that the single electron capture process in slow collisions between O$^{3+}$ ions and neon dimer targets leads to an unexpected production of low-energy electrons. This production results from the…
Efficient excitation of nuclei via exchange of a real or virtual photon has a fundamental importance for nuclear science and technology development. Here, we present a new mechanism of nuclear excitation based on the capture of a free muon…
Currently, molecular tunnel junctions are recognized as important active elements of various nanodevices. This gives a strong motivation to study physical mechanisms controlling electron transport through molecules. Electron motion through…
Electric, thermal and thermoelectric transport in correlated electron systems probe different aspects of the many-body dynamics, and thus provide complementary information. These are well studied in the low- and high-temperature limits,…
The change of the vibrational energy within a molecule after collisions with another molecule plays an essential role in the evolution of molecular internal energy distributions, which is also the limiting process in the relaxation of the…
Long-lived excited states of atomic nuclei can act as energy traps. These states, known as nuclear isomers, can store a large amount of energy over long periods of time, with a very high energy-to-mass ratio. Under natural conditions, the…
The linear thermoelectric properties of molecular junctions are theoretically studied close to room temperature within a model including electron-electron and electron-vibration interactions on the molecule. A nonequilibrium adiabatic…
A decade ago, an electron-attachment process called interatomic Coulombic electron capture has been predicted to be possible through energy transfer to a nearby neighbor. It has been estimated to be competitive with environment-independent…
