Ultrafast photoinduced processes in polyatomic molecules: Electronic structure, dynamics and spectroscopy (in honour of Wolfgang Domcke) - Preface

摘要

The excitation of a molecular system by a laser pulse may induce a variety of different dynamical phenomena, including photophysical processes such as radiative or non-radiative electronic transitions, electron and energy transfer, as well as photochemical reactions such as dissociation, proton transfer, or isomerization. The understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underlying photoinduced dynamical processes in molecular systems has been a major goal of experimental and theoretical research in chemical physics and physical chemistry in recent decades.
