Gas Phase I2 I2 in Ar clusters probe pump
Dissociative A-state behavior (note bare I2 still B-state behavior) Geminate recombination Dissociative A state
Long time-scale behavior B state B-state excitation predissociation Geminate recombination A state
A-state vs B-state dynamics Both pathways end up on A state, with lifetimes of micro- to maybe milli- seconds
