Summary: 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,.
From the Contents: Molecular movies from molecular frame photoelectron angular distribution (MF?PAD) measurements -- XUV lasers for ultrafast electronic control in H2 -- Ultrafast dynamics of hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon molecules in intense laser fields: Hydrogen atom migration and scrambling in methylacetylene.
