Femtochemistry addresses fundamental processes of chemical reaction dynamics such as
bond formation and breaking, which occur typically on a femtosecond time scale (1 fs) 10-15 …

This review summarizes progress in coherent control as well as relevant recent
achievements, highlighting, among several different schemes of coherent control, wave …

Nanoparticles may contain unusual forms of structural disorder that can substantially modify
materials properties and thus cannot solely be considered as small pieces of bulk material …

The dynamics of collective excitations of electrons, phonons, and spins are of fundamental
interest to develop a microscopic understanding of interactions among elementary …

Coherent phonon spectroscopy can provide microscopic insight into ultrafast lattice
dynamics and its coupling to other degrees of freedom under nonequilibrium conditions …

Femtosecond laser irradiation is used to excite adsorbed CO molecules on a Cu (110)
surface; the ensuing motion of individual molecules across the surface is characterized on a …

The femtosecond optical pump-probe technique was used to study dynamics of
photoexcited electrons and coherent optical phonons in transition metals Zn and Cd as a …

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is an effective visible-light-driven photocatalyst for oxygen
evolution from water. To understand the mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation of water, it is …

We applied interface-selective heterodyne-detected electronic sum frequency generation
(HD-ESFG) to the pH spectrometry of an air/cationic surfactant/water interface in order to …

The coupling between electronic states in a surface-adsorbate system is fundamental to the
understanding of many surface interactions. In this Letter, we present the first direct time …
