Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Other Applications of Lasers in Chemistry

在这个由化学系实验物理化学项目资助的奖项中，罗宾M。宾夕法尼亚大学的Hochstrasser和他的研究生将进一步发展多维红外光谱技术，以揭示空间扩展的强耦合系统的复杂光谱。 特别是，Hochstrasser教授和他的团队将开发二维红外交换光谱，以探测液体中的氢键解离和再缔合动力学。 这些研究将为研究结构液体中的氢键动力学提供一种新的工具，这是一个在化学和生物学中具有重要意义的课题。除了研究对多个科学领域的广泛影响外，Hochstrasser教授将继续培养一批不同的年轻科学家从事科学事业。

In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Robin M. Hochstrasser of the University of Pennsylvania and his graduate research students will further develop the techniques of multidimensional infrared spectroscopy to unravel the complex spectra of spatially extended, strongly coupled systems. In particular, Prof. Hochstrasser and his group will develop two-dimensional infrared exchange spectroscopy to probe hydrogen bond dissociation and reassociation dynamics in liquids. These studies should provide a new tool with which to study hydrogen bond dynamics in structured liquids, a subject that is of significant importance in chemistry and biology.Besides the broad impact of the research on several areas of science, Prof. Hochstrasser will continue to train a diverse group of young scientists for careers in the sciences.
