Laser-Stimulated Molecular Dynamics and Rate Processes.
Abstract
A review of theoretical work by the author and collaborators and related experiments is presented for two segments of laser-induced chemistry: molecular dynamics and rate processes in the gas phase and at a solid surface and gas-surface interface. For the gas phase, the focus is on situations where the radiation interacts directly with the dynamics to enhance or create new processes. The field of laser-surface chemistry is still undergoing a procedure of definition, and progress to date is discussed. Theoretical failures as well as successes are analyzed and viewpoints are offered as to new directions for both theory and experiment. (Author)
