Dynamics of Energy Redistribution and Reactions

在这个项目中的物理化学程序的化学 艾哈迈德·H.加州医学研究所的Zewail 技术将在他的研究中继续进行一系列的调查 分子能量再分配和反应动力学程序。 计划调查四个具体领域：1）研究 分子内振动能量再分布（IVR）在反应和 特别注意模式特异性的非反应性系统， 它的性质和时间尺度，旋转和碰撞所扮演的角色， 2）研究了反应速率， 基本系统的中间体，强调总的影响 能量，模式特异性，角动量的作用; 3）研究 复杂系统中的基本动力学及其在有机化学中的应用 和有机金属体系;和4）IVR的理论研究， 反应速率和分子动力学。 这些研究处于当代物理学的前沿。 化学，处理化学反应的基本方面， 分子尺度上的动力学。

In this project in the Physical Chemistry program of the Chemistry Division, Professor Ahmed H. Zewail of the California Institute of Technology will continue a series of investigations in his research program on the dynamics of molecular energy redistribution and reactions. Four specific areas are planned for investigation: 1) Study of the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in reactive and non-reactive systems with particular attention given to mode specificity, its nature and time scale, the roles played by rotations and collisions, and the influence of symmetry; 2) study of the reaction rates and intermediates of elementary systems, emphasizing the effects of total energy, mode specificity, and the role of angular momentum; 3) study of the elementary dynamics in complex systems, with applications to organic and organometallic systems; and 4) theoretical investigations of IVR, reaction rates and molecular dynamics. These investigations are at the forefront of contemporary physical chemistry, dealing with fundamental aspects of chemical reactions and dynamics on a molecular scale.
