This book gives a detailed overview on this new and exciting field at the boundary of physics and chemistry. Laser-induced ultrafast molecuar dynamics is presented for many textbook-like examples of model molecules and clusters. Experimental results on phenomena like wave packet propagation, ultrafast photodissociation and femtosecond structural redistribution are presented and described theoretically.Femtosecond real-time spectroscopy.- Wave packet propagation.- Ultrafast photodissociation.- Ultrafast structural relaxation.- Summary and forward view.This book gives a detailed overview on this new and exciting field at the boundary of physics and chemistry.
