Femtosecond Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy

The development of femtosecond time-resolved methods for the study of gas-phane molecular dynamics is founded upon the seminal studies of Zewail and co-workers, as recognized in 1999 by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This methodology has been applied to chemical reactions ranging in complexity from bond-breaking in diatomic molecules to dynamics in larger organic and biological molecules, and has led to breakthroughs in the understanding of fundamental chemical processes.
