1. INTRODUCTION Photoemission from organic molecules originates normally from only the
lowest excited state of a given spin multiplicity, irrespective of the photon energy used for the …

Over many millennia, humankind has thought to explore phenomena on an ever shorter time
scale. In this race against time, femtosecond resolution (1 fs= 10− 15 s) is the ultimate …

In this paper we present a unified treatment of non-radiative decay processes in large
molecules which involve either electronic relaxation between two electronic states or …

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 …

A novel three-dimensional (3-D) optical memory device is presented that allows fast random
access of the information and extremely high bit densities. This device is based on two …

Handbook of Fluorescence Spectra of Aromatic Molecules, Second Edition describes the
fluorescence and absorption spectra of about 200 aromatic compounds, most of which fall …

General formalism of absorption and emission spectra, and of radiative and nonradiative
decay rates are derived using a thermal vibration correlation function formalism for the …

Theoretical models that have been proposed and applied to proton transfer reactions are
reviewed in this work. Simple models, like the Eigen model, Marcus theory and the …

New free-electron laser and high-harmonic generation X-ray light sources are capable of
supplying pulses short and intense enough to perform resonant nonlinear time-resolved …

This work demonstrates the practicality of forming two self-assembled monolayers (SAMs),
independently but simultaneously, by adsorption of two different adsorbates from a common …
