Abstract
Simultaneous probing of electronic and vibrational dynamics in deuterium bromide is observed using attosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy after strong-field ionization. The results highlight how nuclear motions affect the manifestation of electronic quantum beats in small molecules, setting fundamental parameters for future charge-migration studies.
