Sub-Angstrom and Femtosecond Scale Imaging of Molecular Motion using Ultrafast X-ray Scattering
Time-resolved femtosecond x-ray diffraction patterns from laser-excited molecular iodine were used to create high fidelity molecular movies de-novo. We use a Legendre decomposition to extract excited state motion and observed electronic population transfer, vibrational motion, dissociation, rotational dephasing and evidence of interference of electronic states.
