Description

In this volume, scientists from the field of ultrafast reaction dynamics and spectroscopy provide both an overview of the field and an in-depth discussion of the most intensely studied topics. Results presented cover the whole scale of molecular complexity, ranging from diatomic molecules and clusters to molecules in the condensed phase and at surfaces, as well as complex biological systems.

  • Femtochemistry of elementary reactions in isolated molecules and clusters
  • transition-state theories
  • wave-packet theory in relation to experiment
  • ultrafast processes in biology
  • theory of radiationless relaxations molecular dynamics in femtosecond processes
  • protein dynamics
  • femtosecond dynamics of metal clusters
  • femtosecond dynamics of ions and clusters
  • energy and phase relaxation in liquids
  • femtosecond dynamics of solvation
  • theories of reactions in solutions
  • quantum theory of chemical reaction dynamics
  • ultrafast dynamics at interfaces
