Interatomic or intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a nonlocal electronic decay
mechanism occurring in weakly bound matter. In an ICD process, energy released by …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

The transfer of charge at the molecular level plays a fundamental role in many areas of
chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. Today, more than 60 years after the …

Real-time electronic structure methods provide an unprecedented view of electron dynamics
and ultrafast spectroscopy on the atto-and femtosecond time scale with vast potential to yield …

Understanding the real-time evolution of many-electron quantum systems is essential for
studying dynamical properties in condensed matter, quantum chemistry, and complex …

In pioneering work by Cederbaum et al an excitation mechanism was proposed that occurs
only in loosely bound matter (Cederbaum et al 1997 Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 4778): it turned out …

Low-energy electrons are the most abundant product of ionizing radiation in condensed
matter. The origin of these electrons is most commonly understood to be secondary …

Exposing molecules to ultrashort laser pulses creates electronic wave packets, and
therefore, triggers pure electron dynamics in the excited or ionized system. In the case of …

Non-covalently bound aromatic systems are ubiquitous and govern the physicochemical
properties of various organic materials. They are important to many phenomena of biological …

Autoionization is an important pathway for the relaxation of electronically excited states. In
weakly bonded matter, efficient autoionization channels have been found, in which not only …
