Relativistic effects in molecular photoemission delays
The authors use attosecond flashes of light to investigate relativistic effects in molecules, which are known to impact certain chemical reactions and molecular dynamics around conical intersections. The relativistic effects were contained in the relative photoemission delay between two spin-orbit split states in methyl iodide, and by using relativistic calculations, the authors explain how the anomalous dip in the measured spin-orbit delay spectrum results from the interplay of interchannel coupling and spin-flip transitions.
