Over many millennia, humankind has thought to explore phenomena on an ever shorter time
scale. In this race against time, femtosecond resolution (1 fs= 10− 15 s) is the ultimate …

▪ Abstract This review discusses recent quantum scattering calculations on bimolecular
chemical reactions in the gas phase. This theory provides detailed and accurate predictions …

This anthology, which is adapted from the Nobel Lecture, gives an overview of the field of
Femtochemistry from a personal perspective, encompassing our research at Caltech and …

Anion-molecule nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions are known for their rich reaction
dynamics, caused by a complex potential energy surface with a submerged barrier and by …

In this review, we survey the latest advances in theoretical understanding of bimolecular
reaction dynamics in the past decade. The remarkable recent progress in this field has been …

This book deals with a central topic at the interface of chemistry and physics--the
understanding of how the transformation of matter takes place at the atomic level. Building …

Maximizing nonlinear light-matter interactions is a primary motive for compressing laser
pulses to achieve ultrashort transform limited pulses. Here we show how, by appropriately …

The ability to predict the pressure dependence of chemical reaction rates would be a great
boon to kinetic modeling of processes such as combustion and atmospheric chemistry. This …

This review describes advances which have occurred during the past decade in chemical
reaction dynamics using crossed molecular beams. After a brief historical introduction …

Understanding quantum interferences is essential to the study of chemical reaction
dynamics. Here, we provide an interesting case of quantum interference between two …
