Femtosecond Real-Time Spectroscopy of Small Molecules and Clusters, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1998 Springer Tracts in Modern Physics Series, Vol. 143

This book gives a detailed overview on this new and exciting field at the boundary of physics and chemistry.
Laser-induced ultrafast molecuar dynamics is presented for many textbook-like examples of model molecules and clusters.
Experimental results on phenomena like wave packet propagation, ultrafast photodissociation and femtosecond structural redistribution are presented and described theoretically.

Femtosecond real-time spectroscopy.- Wave packet propagation.- Ultrafast photodissociation.- Ultrafast structural relaxation.- Summary and forward view.
