The assembled studies, with follow-up discussions, reflect the many specialties and perspectives of the Conference's 65 participants as well as their optimism concerning the breadth of scientific discovery now open to them. The studies shed light on the laser's enhanced technical reach in the area of coherent control of chemical reactions as well as of more general quantum systems. The theoretical fundamentals of femto-chemistry, the unique behavior of the femtosecond laser, and a view toward future technological applications were also discussed:
* Femtochemistry: chemical reaction dynamics and their control
* Coherent control with femtosecond laser pulses
* Femtosecond chemical dynamics in condensed phases
* Control of quantum many-body dynamics
* Experimental observation of laser control
* Solvent dynamics and RRKM theory of clusters
* High-resolution spectroscopy and intramolecular dynamics
* Molecular Rydberg states and ZEKE spectroscopy
* Transition-state spectroscopy and photodissociation
* Quantum and semiclassical theories of chemical reaction rates.
A fascinating and informative status report on the cutting-edge chemical research made possible by the femtosecond laser, Chemical Reactions and Their Control on the Femtosecond Time Scale is an indispensable volume for professionals and students alike.
The femtosecond laser and chemistry's extraordinary new frontier of molecular motions observed on the scale of a quadrillionth of a second.
Research chemists have only tapped the surface of the spectacular reach and precision of the femtosecond laser, a technology that has allowed them to observe the dynamics of molecules on the intrinsic time scale of their vibrations, dissociative motions, and electronic excitations. Volume 101 in the Advances in Chemical Physics series, Chemical Reactions and Their Control on the Femtosecond Time Scale details their extraordinary findings, presented at the XXth Solvay Conference on Chemistry, in Brussels.
The studies reflect the work, in part, of the Conference's 65 participants, including many prominent contributors. Together they shed light on the laser's enhanced technical range in the area of coherent control of chemical reactions as well as of more general quantum systems. The theoretical fundamentals of femtochemistry, the unique behavior of the femtosecond laser, and a view toward future technological applications were also discussed.
An exceptionally up-to-date examination of the chemical analyses made possible by the femtosecond laser, Chemical Reactions and Their Control on the Femtosecond Time Scale is an important reference for professionals and students interested in enhancing their research capabilities with this remarkable tool.
From 1993 to 1996, she worked with Dr. P. Gaspard at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, on the application of new semiclassical techniques to elementary chemical reaction processes.
PIERRE GASPARD is a permanent scientific researcher at the National Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS Belgium) at the Center for Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems of the Universite Libre de Bruxelles. A specialist in classical and quantum dynamical systems theory, he has made several contributions to the semiclassical theory of intramolecular and reaction dynamics as well as to the control of chemical reactions, in collaboration with Prof. S. A. Rice. IRENE BURGHARDT received her PhD. in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy in 1992 from the Universite de Lausanne, Switzerland, under the supervision of Prof. G. Bodenhausen.
