State Resolved Reaction Dynamics

在实验物理化学的这个项目中，教授 Donald W.堪萨斯州立大学的塞泽尔将研究气体 相反应涉及定义明确的量子态， 反应物和产物分子。激光激发技术 允许选择性地激发反应途径沿着激发的 状态势面。作为一项新举措， 将研究金属与卤素和氧的反应 通过流动反应器方法。 %%% 现在有可能通过控制化学反应的进程， 利用激光将原子和分子引导到所需的初始位置 能量状态。Setser教授（堪萨斯州）的工作 大学）大大推进了这项技术的发展， 扩大“可控”反应的范围，将金属包括在内 重要的是催化剂。

In this project in Experimental Physical Chemistry, Professor Donald W. Setser of Kansas State University will study gas phase reactions involving well-defined quantum states of both reactant and product molecules. Laser excitation techniques permit selective excitation of reaction pathways along excited state potential surfaces. As a new initiative, transition metals reacting with halogens and with oxygen will be studied by flow reactor methods. %%% It is now possible to steer the course of chemical reactions by using lasers to direct atoms and molecules to desired initial energy states. The work of Prof. Setser (Kansas State University) greatly advances the state of this technique, widening the scope of "steerable" reactions to include metals important in catalyis.
