Femtosecond ring-opening dynamics of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) in gas phase upon two-photon excitation at 400 nm (=3.1 eV) was investigated by time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy using 42 nm (=29.5 eV) high harmonic photons probing the dynamics of the lower-lying occupied molecular orbitals (MOs), which are the fingerprints of the molecular structure. After 500 fs, the photoelectron intensity of the MO constituting the CC sigma bond (σCC) of CHD was enhanced, while that of the MO forming the C–C sigma bond (σCC) of CHD was decreased. The changes in the photoelectron spectra suggest that the ring of CHD opens to form a 1,3,5-hexatriene (HT) after 500 fs. The dynamics of the σCC and σCC bands between 200 and 500 fs reflects the ring deformation to a conical intersection between the 21A and 11A potential energy surfaces prior to the ring-opening reaction.

A system has been developed for the real-time analysis of surface reactions during molecular beam epitaxial growth which uses photoelectron spectroscopy with VUV light taken from synchrotron radiation. This system consists of a synchrotron radiation beamline and growth/analysis apparatus in which photoelectron spectroscopy is performed with sub-second time resolution. In this system, photoelectron spectra are measured in sequence by a `non-scanning' measurement method that enables the acquisition of snapshot photoelectron spectra using a multi-channel detector. This non-scanning measurement method was enabled by equipping an electric field correction grid. This system was used to monitor the photoelectron spectra of a GaSb(001) surface.

We present photoelectron spectroscopy experiments using an 88 MHz cavityenhanced high-harmonic source operating from 8 to 40 eV. Nanoampere space-charge free sample photo currents enable us to record time-resolved photoelectron spectra from weakly excited samples.

We report on the implementation of Dyson orbitals within the recently introduced frozen-core (fc) core-valence separated (CVS) equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) method, which enables efficient and reliable characterization of core-level states. The ionization potential (IP) variant of fc-CVS-EOM-CCSD, in which the EOM target states have one electron less than the reference, gives access to core-ionized states thus enabling modeling of<br><div>X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and its time-resolved variant (TR-XPS). Dyson orbitals are reduced quantities that can be interpreted as correlated states of the ejected/attached electron; they enter the expressions of various experimentally relevant quantities. In the context of photoelectron spectroscopy, Dyson orbitals can be used to estimate the strengths of photoionization transitions. We illustrate the utility of Dyson orbitals and fc-CVS-EOM-IP-CCSD by calculating XPS of the ground state of adenine and TR-XPS of the excited states of uracil.</div>
