Fragmentation Dynamics of Fluorene Explored Using Ultrafast XUV-Vis Pump-Probe Spectroscopy
We report on the use of extreme ultraviolet (XUV, 30.3 nm) radiation from the Free-electronLASer in Hamburg (FLASH) and visible (Vis, 405 nm) photons from an optical laser toinvestigate the relaxation and fragmentation dynamics of fluorene ions. The ultrashort laserpulses allow to resolve the molecular processes occurring on the femtosecond timescales.Fluorene is a prototypical small polycyclic ar
