Femtosecond Chemically Activated Reactions: Concept of Nonstatistical Activation at High Thermal Energies

Abstract

Femtosecond chemical activation of reactions at very high thermal energies, much above the bond energy, is developed in this report. We address the concept of nonstatistical dynamics at such high energies. The approach offers a new direction for probing the dynamics of reactions in their ground state with unique activation, collision-free, and temporally and spatially defined.
