This collection presents detailed research reviews, written in a style accessible to all physical chemists, spanning the field of physical chemistry, authored by leaders in the field working at US universities and research institutions. Some areas explored include photofragment spectroscopy and predissociation dynamics of weakly bound molecules, de-wetting and hydrophobic interactions in physical and biological systems, intrinsic particle properties from vibrational spectra of aerosols, and nanofabrication of plasmonic structures. Other topics covered include dynamics of light harvesting in photosynthesis, quantum coherent control for nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy, chirality in nonlinear optics, and active biological materials. Related articles are listed from the publisher's other annual review volumes of various science disciplines. The book includes cumulative indexes of contributing authors and chapter titles from volumes 56-60. Leone is affiliated with the University of California-Berkeley.
