When a molecular system undergoes a chargetransfer reaction, the equilibrium positions of
the nuclei of both the reacting molecule (s) and the molecules in the environment generally …

The nonlinear optical response of liquids subjected to a series of N femtosecond laser
pulses is calculated using a multimode harmonic model for nuclear motions, with nonlinear …

Multicolour near-infrared femtosecond experiments of a genetically modified bacterial
reaction centre show that the phase of two excited-state vibrational modes is conserved for a …

THE high-fidelity replication and functional specificity of biomaterials and biopolymers is
inspiring a renewal in the development of biomimetic strategies for materials synthesis1, 2 …

Off‐resonant transient birefringence measurements are analyzed using a reduced equation
of motion for the ground state density matrix, which is expanded using an effective …

Femtosecond laser pulses, resonant with the Soret band of the nitric oxide complex of
myoglobin (MbNO), were used to probe coherent, low-frequency nuclear motion of the heme …

A framework for understanding impulsively photoinduced vibrational coherent motion on the
ground electronic surface is presented. In particular strong resonant excitation to a directly …

We report a comprehensive study of the UV photolysis of I3− in ethanol solution, using
femtosecond time resolved transient transmission experiments. We interpret our results to …

FOR chemical reactions in solution, the solvent exerts an important influence on the
elementary processes of bond making and breaking. The solvent may, for example …

Time-resolved transient grating techniques (TG) arising from four-wave mixing (FWM)
