Magnet-Free Time-Resolved Magnetic Circular Dichroism with Pulsed Vector Beams
read the original abstract
Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) is a widely used spectroscopic technique which reveals valuable information about molecular geometry and electronic structure. However, the weak signal and the necessary strong magnets impose major limitations on its application. We propose a novel protocol to overcome these limitations by using pulsed vector beams (VBs), which consist of nanosecond gigahertz pump and femtosecond UV-Vis probe pulses. By virtue of the strong longitudinal electromagnetic fields, the MCD signal detected by using the pulsed VBs is greatly enhanced compared to conventional MCD performed with plane waves. Furthermore, varying the pump-probe time delay allows to monitor the ultrafast variation of molecular properties.
