Femtosecond dynamics of cage relaxation following NO Rydberg states excitation in condensed matter

Abstract

The dynamics of Rydberg states in condensed matter is still a field to be unraveled. As far as low-n Rydberg states in solids are concerned, the radius of the orbital is of the same order of magnitude as the nearest neighbor distance and it is observed that their absorption bands are strongly blue shifted as compared with the gas phase energies. This repulsion leads to formation of a "bubble" or "microcavity" around the excited atom or molecule,1,2 as the solvent atoms are pushed asunder to a new equilibrium position.
