Download or read book Chemical Applications of Ultrafast Spectroscopy written by Graham R. Fleming and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1986 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent improvements in the techniques for producing very short duration pulses of laser light have allowed chemists to study processes taking place on similarly short timescales, now typically in the range of 10 to 10 seconds. This book describes methods for generating and characterising picosecond pulses, and then provides a discussion of current experimental techniques for the study of ultrafast chemical processes. The applications to specific chemical problems are divided into chapters on the vapour, liquid, and solid phases.
