The dynamics of "stretched molecules": experimental studies of highly vibrationally excited molecules with stimulated emission pumping
We review stimulated emission pumping as used to study molecular dynamics. The review presents unimolecular as well as scattering studies. Topics include intramolecular vibrational redistribution, unimolecular isomerization and dissociation, van der Waals clusters, rotational energy transfer, vibrat...

| Summary: | We review stimulated emission pumping as used to study molecular dynamics. The review presents unimolecular as well as scattering studies. Topics include intramolecular vibrational redistribution, unimolecular isomerization and dissociation, van der Waals clusters, rotational energy transfer, vibrational energy transfer, gas-surface interactions, atmospheric effects resulting from nonequilibrium vibrational excitation, and vibrational promotion of electron transfer. |
