The relaxation dynamics of solvated electrons from sodium-ammonia-d3 solutions was studied by femtosecond time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy. The experimental pump-probe data reveal a pulse-width limited pump-induced redshift of the absorption spectrum of the ammoniated electron and a subsequent slower blueshift on a time scale of roughly 200 fs. The spectrotemporal response is interpreted using the nonadiabatic relaxation mechanism for cavity-bound solvated electrons in condensed phases. In particular, we develop a local density-jump model, which traces the dynamic spectrum back to a sequence of a pump-induced cavity expansion due to Pauli repulsion and a succeeding cavity contraction upon nonadiabatic return of the electron back to its ground state. Using the existing thermodynamic data of the solvent and experimental temperature and density-dependent absorption spectra of metal-ammonia solutions, an overall increase in the interparticle distance within the solvent cavity of 25% is crudely estimated. The density-jump model is compared to the temperature-jump model we proposed previously for the femtosecond relaxation dynamics of metal-NH(3) solutions.
