Photochemical surface processes are initiated by the absorption of photons by an adsorbate
or the substrate, and followed by various energy transfer and relaxation processes that lead …

Optical polarization features associated with the fundamental processes of molecular
fluorescence and resonance energy transfer are in general studied with reference to plane …

Ligand-dependent structural changes in serum albumin are suggested to underlie its role in
physiological solute transport and receptor-mediated cellular selection. Evidence of ligand …

This paper presents the theory required to extract both the scalar and vector properties of a
ground state angular momentum distribution probed by two-photon absorption. The …

A KrF excimer laser (248 nm) is used to dissociate a low pressure (5-10 mTorr) sample of
cyanogen iodide (lCN) and the resulting CN X 2~+ fragments are probed by laser-induced …

A low-pressure vapor of cyanogen iodide (ICN) is photolyzed by a beam of circularly
polarized radiation at 248 nm from a KrF excimer laser. The resulting ground state CN X 2 …

Degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) spectroscopy is shown to provide a facile means for
probing angular momentum (or rotational) anisotropy in nonequilibrated ensembles of …

Judicious selection of polarization characteristics in degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM)
spectroscopy is shown to provide a facile and robust means for discriminating rovibronic …
