A number of examples illustrate structural-dynamics studies of picosecond and slower photo-induced processes. They include molecular rearrangements and excitations. The information that can be obtained from such studies is discussed. The results are complementary to the information obtained from femtosecond studies. The point is made that all pertinent time scales should be covered to obtain comprehensive insight in dynamic processes of chemical and biological importance.
许多例子说明了皮秒和更慢的光致过程的结构动力学研究。它们包括分子重排和激发。讨论了可以从这些研究中获得的信息。这些结果与飞秒研究获得的信息互补。本文指出,为了全面了解化学和生物学重要动态过程,应该涵盖所有相关的时间尺度。
