We will explain<br class="">how nuclear wave packets are formed and visualize their motion in an<br class="">excited molecule. In the second part of the lecture, we will discuss<br class="">how the wave packet picture can be used to understand time resolved<br class="">spectroscopy. Spectroscopy with ultra-fast pulses in the femtosecond<br class="">regime is widely used to investigate photochemical processes in molecules.<br class="">To illustrate the connection between the two, we will take a look Zewail's<br class="">famous sodium iodide experiment, which lead to the Nobel Prize in 1999.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Zoom link: <a href="https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/65488370247" class="">https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/65488370247</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You are all most welcome to attend!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Svante Jonsell</div><div class="">on behalf of the docent committee</div></body></html>
