Abstract
Non-adiabatic structural dynamics occur in lighter molecules and are often described using Conical Intersections (CI) in molecules with at least three atoms. Light that is resonant near regions of strong non-adiabatic coupling can play an important role in controlling and understanding these dynamics. This thesis presents both simple model simulations and experimental data in the acetylene dication to analyze how light interacts with non-adiabatic dynamics. A key parameter that relates how the nuclear energy changes in time compared to the relative electronic energy is used to explain and predict the role that dipole coupling has in controlling non-adiabatic dynamics.
