Femtosecond Real-Time Spectroscopy of Small Molecules and Clusters

Elmar Schreiber (auth.)3540639004, 9783540639008

This book gives a detailed overview on this new and exciting field at the boundary of physics and chemistry.
Laser-induced ultrafast molecuar dynamics is presented for many textbook-like examples of model molecules and clusters.
Experimental results on phenomena like wave packet propagation, ultrafast photodissociation and femtosecond structural redistribution are presented and described theoretically.
