Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

In 1913 Debye devised a relaxation model for application to the dielectric properties of water
and alcohols. These hydrogen-bonded liquids continue to be studied extensively because …

Terahertz spectroscopy emerged about 13 years ago with the demonstration that nearly
single-cycle pulses of far-infrared radiation could be generated, propagated through free …

Extracts of the resin of the guggul tree (Commiphora mukul) lower LDL (low-density
lipoprotein) cholesterol levels in humans. The plant sterol guggulsterone [4, 17 (20) …

▪ Abstract Electron transfer across the molecule-semiconductor interface is a fundamental
process that is relevant to many applications of nanoparticles, such as dye-sensitized solar …

An experimental study was undertaken to measure the optical Kerr effect (OKE) in liquids
induced by picosecond laser pulses. The effects of different parameters on the dynamics of …

Here we report on the structural and dynamical properties of a series of room temperature
ionic liquids, namely 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis {(trifluoromethane) sulfonyl} amide ([C …

We analyzed the complex dielectric and Raman spectra of hydrogen-bond liquids in the
microwave to terahertz frequency range. As for water and methanol, the high-frequency …

Electrostatics affect virtually all aspects of protein structure and activity and are particularly
important in proteins whose primary function is to stabilize charge. Here we introduce a …

The involvement of chemical exchange in 2D IR heterodyne echo spectroscopy is
characterized through the hydrogen-bond exchange between CH3OH and the CN of …
