We review the tremendous advances in ultrafast X-ray science, over the past 15 years,
making the best use of new ultrashort X-ray sources including table-top or large-scale …

The observation of coherent dynamics ensuing from the excitation of molecular systems by
femtosecond laser pulses is at the heart of femtochemistry. The time-dependent evolution of …

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 …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

We explore charge migration in DNA, advancing two distinct mechanisms of charge
separation in a donor (d)–bridge ({Bj})–acceptor (a) system, where {Bj}= B1, B2,…, BN are …

Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) has been developed to study transient structures in
complex chemical reactions initiated with femtosecond laser pulses. This direct imaging of …

Nonadiabatic transition is a highly multidisciplinary concept and phenomenon, constituting a
fundamental mechanism of state and phase changes in various dynamical processes of …

▪ Abstract We review prototype studies in the area of quantum control with femtosecond
lasers. We restrict this discussion to atoms and diatomics under gas-phase collision-free …

Rather different problems can be lumped together under the general term'laser control of
atoms and molecules'. They include the laser selection of atomic and molecular velocities for …

In this study, we perform steady-state and time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS) on the iron K-edge of [Fe (tren (py) 3)](PF6) 2 dissolved in acetonitrile solution. Static …
