Recently there has been a revival of interest in the basic structure of the aqueous or
“hydrated” electron, e−(aq). According to the conventional picture, this species occupies a …

We report an implementation of periodic boundary conditions for mixed quantum
mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations, in which atomic partial charges are …

The fundamental properties of laser-induced plasma in liquid water, such as the ultrafast
electron migration and solvation, have not yet been clarified. We use 1650-nm femtosecond …

A free electron in solution, known as a solvated electron, is the smallest possible anion.
Alkali and alkaline earth atoms serve as electron donors in solvents that mediate outer …

Previous transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) hinted at an exceptionally rapid geminate
recombination process in charge transfer reactions involving OH–or OD–ions in liquid water …

Solvated electron states at the oxide/aqueous interface represent the lowest energy charge-
transfer pathways, thereby playing an important role in photocatalysis and electronic device …

We used a novel phase-sensitive transient absorption spectroscopy with few-cycle pulses to
study the photoionization of liquid water. The phase changes elucidate the initial localization …
