摘要
Two-color pump-probe spectroscopy has been performed with subpicosecond time resolution in the CH- and OH-stretching regions of ethanol monomers dissolved in carbon tetrachloride in the temperature range from 259 to 333 K. From the isotropic component of the probe transmission signal we deduce the lifetime of the OH-stretching vibration to be T-1 = 8 +/- I ps while the molecular reorientation is directly observed from the anisotropic signal to occur with tau(or) = 2 +/- 0.5 ps at room temperature. Additional information on the relaxation pathway of the excited OH-stretching and on the asymmetric CH3-stretching vibration of ethanol is presented as well as evidence for an inhomogeneous broadening of the monomeric OH-vibration, (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
