Cold helium nanodroplets (400mK) possess several remarkable properties such as suprafluidity, making them attractive matrices for spectroscopy of a wide range of embedded atoms and molecules.
The first topic of this poster concerns Rb-doped He nanodroplets. The aim of this ongoing investigation is to understand the desorption dynamics of Rb dopants upon excitation and ionization by mass-resolved femtosecond pump probe spectroscopy via the pseudodiatomic 6pΣ and 6pΠ states. Recent results show a pronounced drop of the ion yield for pump probe delays below one picosecond, suggesting either submersion of Rb ions or a reduced ionization cross section in the vicinity of He droplets.
The second topic focuses on vibrational wave packet dynamics within the A-state of lithiumiodide in the gas phase. From the pump-probe transients we derive properties of the potentials including coupling parameters at avoided curve-crossings by comparing to quantum dynamics simulations. In LiI doped He droplets we observe very fast relaxation dynamics, indicating strong interaction with the He.
