Attosecond science is nowadays a well-established research field, and table-top attosecond sources based on high-harmonic generation are routinely used to access electronic motion in matter at its natural time scale. Here, the authors describe a new way of doing chemistry—attochemistry—by directly acting on the electronic motion, and discuss a few key open questions in this emerging field.
如今,阿秒科学已是一个成熟的研究领域,基于高次谐波产生的桌面型阿秒光源常被用于在自然时间尺度下研究物质中的电子运动。在此,作者描述了一种通过直接作用于电子运动来进行化学研究的新方法——阿秒化学,并讨论了这一新兴领域中几个关键的开放性问题。
