Discerning Mode-Controlled Relaxation Pathways in Photoionized Methane via X‑ray Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

Deciphering ultrafast relaxation pathways following the excitation of specific vibrational modes can inform our understanding of mode-selective chemistry; however, direct spectroscopic signatures of the underlying nuclear dynamics remain elusive. Here, we show that X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy at the carbon...
