TLDR
The coupling between valence- and core-excited states can be visualized in three-dimensional plots, revealing the origin of the polarizability that controls the simpler pump-probe SXRS signals.Abstract:
Several nonlinear spectroscopy experiments which employ broadband x-ray pulses to probe the coupling between localized core and delocalized valence excitation are simulated for the amino acid cysteine at the K-edges of oxygen and nitrogen and the K and L-edges of sulfur. We focus on two dimensional (2D) and 3D signals generated by two- and three-pulse stimulated x-ray Raman spectroscopy (SXRS) with frequency-dispersed probe. We show how the four-pulse x-ray signals $\boldsymbol{k}_\mathrm{I}=-\boldsymbol{k}_1+\boldsymbol{k}_2+\boldsymbol{k}_3$ and $\boldsymbol{k}_\mathrm{II}=\boldsymbol{k}_1-\boldsymbol{k}_2+\boldsymbol{k}_3$ can give new 3D insight into the SXRS signals. The coupling between valence- and core-excited states can be visualized in three dimensional plots, revealing the origin of the polarizability that controls the simpler pump-probe SXRS signals.read more

Accessing Excited State Molecular Vibrations by Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy
TL;DR: This work shows how detailed information about ground and excited state vibrations can be disentangled by exploiting the relative time delay between Raman and probe pulses to control the excited state population, combined with a diagrammatic formalism to dissect the pathways concurring with the signal generation.

Dissociation pathways in the cysteine dication after site-selective core ionization.
TL;DR: A photoelectron-ion-ion coincidence experiment has been carried out on the amino acid molecule cysteine after core-ionization of the O1s, N 1s, C 1s and S 2p orbitals, and a number of different dissociation channels show strong site-selective dependence.

Density‐functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical exchange correlation functional with local spin density, gradient, and exact exchange terms was proposed. But this functional performed significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.
