Multipronged mapping to the dynamics of a barium atom deposited on argon clusters

The dynamics of an electronically excited barium atom deposited at the surface of an Ar≈500 cluster was explored in a multipronged approach which associates information from frequency-resolved nanosecond experiments and information from femtosecond time-resolved experiments. In both types of experiments, the dynamics is monitored by photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy.
