▪ Abstract Experimental and theoretical studies of polar solvation dynamics and spectral line
broadening are described. Photon echo and fluorescence Stokes shift experiments are …

▪ Abstract Chemical reaction and optical dynamics in the liquid phase are strongly affected
by specific solute-solvent interactions. The dynamical part of this coupling leads to energy …

We present an instantaneous-normal-mode analysis of liquid water at room temperature
based on a computer simulated set of liquid configurations and we compare the results to …

Water is the most ubiquitous substance on Earth, and it is known to have anomalous
macroscopic and microscopic properties. 1'2 A decrease of viscosity with pressure, a large …

It hardly needs saying that the presence, and indeed the dynamics, of liquids plays a crucial
role in chemical processes ranging from electrontransfer1 to acid-base chemistry. 2 …

Several closely related third‐order nonlinear time‐resolved spectroscopic techniques,
pump/probe transient absorption, transient grating, and three pulse stimulated photon echo …

Fluorescent chromophores are optically active probe molecules with widespread
applications in chemistry and biology. Usually chromophores function in condensed matter …

The mobility of water in water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles has been
investigated via polar solvation dynamics measurements using ultrafast, time-resolved …

Electron‐transfer processes in solution are among the most important reactions in chemistry
and biology. The huge number of redox reactions of transition metal ions and complexes …

The ultrafast optically-heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) is established as a
relatively simple tool for recording the ultrafast dynamics of liquids with high temporal …
