Time-Resolved Vibrational Spectroscopy V

The research contributions in this volume are divided into chapters on biological systems, metal complexes and organometallic systems, photochemical reactions, transient species, excited state and vibrational dynamics and dynamics in solids, aggregates and liquid crystals.

---

The most recent developments in the field of time-resolved spectroscopy concerned with transient vibrational phenomena and their application to fundamental scientific and engineering studies are summarized in this proceedings volume. More than 90 contributions from internationally known research groups are divided into chapters on biological systems (including protein dynamics, bacteriorhodopsin and photosynthesis) metal complexes and organometallic systems, photochemical reactions, transient species, excited state and vibrational dynamics, dynamics in solids, aggregates and liquid crystals. Further sections are devoted to theoretical aspects and innovative methods and techniques. The contributions to this volume clearly indicate that the field continues to expand into new areas of physics, chemistry, biology and materials science.
