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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss recent experimental and theoretical developments in ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopies (XAS) and explore the new opportunities they offer, as well as the driving force for new theoretical methods permitting a detailed interpretation of the spectra in terms of the geometrical and electronic properties of the system.

Watching energy transfer in metalloporphyrin heterodimers using stimulated X-ray Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: This work shows how ultrafast hard X-ray pulses may be used to create localized electronic wavepackets in a metalloporphyrin dimer by combining the broad bandwidth of attosecond pulses with the localized nature of core orbitals results in a much higher degree of localization and temporal resolution than is possible with optical pulses.

TL;DR: Bennett et al. as mentioned in this paper survey various possible types of multidimensional x-ray spectroscopy techniques and demonstrate the novel information they can provide about molecules, such as core-electronic structure and couplings, real-time tracking of impulsively created valence-electronics wavepackets and electronic coherences, and monitoring ultrafast processes such as nonadiabatic electron-nuclear dynamics near conical-intersection crossings.

Time-dependent density functional theory within the Tamm–Dancoff approximation
So Hirata,Martin Head-Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Tamm-Dancoff approximation to time-dependent density functional theory is proposed and implemented for molecular excited states, which yields excitation energies for several closed-and open-shell molecules that are essentially of the same quality as those obtained from time dependent density functional theories itself, when the same exchange correlation functional is used.

TL;DR: Observations provide compelling evidence for quantum-coherent sharing of electronic excitation across the 5-nm-wide proteins under biologically relevant conditions, suggesting that distant molecules within the photosynthetic proteins are ‘wired’ together by quantum coherence for more efficient light-harvesting in cryptophyte marine algae.
