Femtochemistry : ultrafast chemical and physical processes in molecular systems, Lausanne, Switzerland September 4-8, 1995

This book highlights the latest experimental and theoretical developments in the field of femtochemistry, with papers describing the physics and chemistry of ultrafast processes in small molecules, complex molecular systems, clusters, biological systems, solids, matrices, liquids, and at surfaces and interfaces. In addition, the latest achievements in femtosecond control of chemical reactions are presented, together with the newest techniques in real-time probing of reactions such as ultrafast x-ray or electron diffraction.
