Abstract
The ultrafast dynamics of water molecules excited to the two F̃ states is studied by combining two-photon excitation and time-resolved photoelectron imaging techniques. The lifetimes of the F̃1A1 and F̃1B1 states of H2O (D2O) were derived to be 1.0±0.3 (1.9±0.4) and 10±3 (30±10) ps, respectively. We propose that the F̃1A1 state mainly decays through the D̃ state, due to the nonadiabatic coupling between them, while the F̃1B1 state decays through the F̃1A1 state via Coriolis interaction.
