MaRDI QIDQ6684646

branch of physical chemistry that deals with observing and understang chemical reactions in real time and on an atomistic basis




Although there were first attempts in the 1930s (first trajectory calculations for H+H2 reaction calculated by Polanyi in Berlin-Dahlem), this field has strongy evolved since the 1970s and 1980s with the upcoming of short laser pulses.
