Ultrafast (bio)physical and (bio)chemical dynamics

Chimia (Aarau). 2011;65(9):683-90. doi: 10.2533/chimia.2011.683.

Abstract

We give an overview of our recent work on ultrafast dynamics of chemical (organic dyes, metal-complexes, colloidal quantum dots), and biological (retinal and haem proteins) systems in the liquid phase, studied with a variety of ultrafast optical techniques from the infrared to the ultraviolet.
