Fleming, G

The field of ultrafast spectroscopy includes the spectroscopic measurements for which electronic detectors are not fast enough to allow direct measurement of phenomena. These time scales presently range from about 10 fs to 100 ps, a period that encompasses a wealth of interesting chemical processes. In this field, the techniques and their chemical applications are inextricably tied together, and any thorough treatment must include both. In his monograph, Graham Fleming accomplishes the challenging task of fully describing both the technological and the chemical ends of ultrafast spectroscopy. Fleming is a recognized leader in the area of ultrafast spectroscopy who has made important contributions to techniques and chemical studies. Three chapters of the book are devoted to technology: methods of generating short pulses, methods of characterizing them, and techniques for using them in chemical experiments. The large number of chemical applications are covered in the remaining three chapters: relaxation processes in vapors, in liquid phases, and in solid phases.
