Beschreibung
An understanding of dynamical behavior of electronically excited states is of great importance for the understanding of photochemical reaction mechanisms such as photoionization, photoisomerization, photodissociation, proton transfer, radical formation, bond cleavage, and bond formation. Thus the molecular structures of excited states, as defined by their potential energy surfaces, are closely related to the reaction mechanisms. In this text twelve leading experts present their recent experimental and theoretical findings on electronic excited states. Several chapters deal with the determination of molecular structures in excited states whereas others deal with the reaction dynamics involving these states. Progress toward manipulation and control of reactions using lasers in various laboratories around the world is also described.
New developments in laser technology and theoretical modeling has allowed physicists to control chemical reactions using lasers and to attain an understanding of the underlying photochemical reaction mechanism. The book gives an up-to-date presentation of this research area, covering time-resolved spectroscopy and the dynamical behavior of electronically excited states.
The book gives a status report on the strongly developing subject of time-resolved spectroscopy. Recently developed experimental and theoretical methods to understand electronic excited states are presented.
This book summarises the present state of time-resolved spectroscopy and laser-controlled chemical reactions. It is a must for atomic and laser physicists, quantum chemists and scientists researching excited electronic states.
