ULTRAFAST PHENOMENA IN MOLECULAR SCIENCES GEBUNDEN

This book presents the latest developments in Femtosecond Chemistry and Physics for the study
of ultrafast photo-induced molecular processes. Molecular systems  from the simplest H2
molecule to polymers or biological macromolecules  constitute central objects of interest for
Physics  Chemistry and Biology  and despite the broad range of phenomena that they exhibit 
they share some common behaviors. One of the most significant of those is that many of the
processes involving chemical transformation (nuclear reorganization  bond breaking  bond
making) take place in an extraordinarily short time  in or around the femtosecond temporal
scale (1 fs = 10-15 s). A number of experimental approaches - very particularly the
developments in the generation and manipulation of ultrashort laser pulses - coupled with
theoretical progress  provide the ultrafast scientist with powerful tools to understand matter
and its interaction with light  at this spatial and temporal scale. This book is an attempt to
reunite some of the state-of-the-art research that is being carried out in the field of
ultrafast molecular science  from theoretical developments  through new phenomena induced by
intense laser fields  to the latest techniques applied to the study of molecular dynamics.
