Endogenous photosensitizers play a critical role in both beneficial and harmful light-induced
transformations in biological systems. Understanding their mode of action is essential for …

Intersystem crossing (ISC), formally forbidden within nonrelativistic quantum theory, is the
mechanism by which a molecule changes its spin state. It plays an important role in the …

Ultrafast spectroscopy techniques use sequences of ultrashort light pulses (with femto-to
attosecond durations) to study photoinduced dynamical processes in atoms, molecules …

The structure and function of biomolecules are strongly influenced by their hydration shells.
Structural fluctuations and molecular excitations of hydrating water molecules cover a broad …

Understanding the properties of electronically excited states is a challenging task that
becomes increasingly important for numerous applications in chemistry, molecular physics …

We review the Surface Hopping including ARbitrary Couplings (SHARC) approach for
excited‐state nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. As a generalization of the popular surface …

Since the first demonstration of the generation of attosecond pulses (1 as= 10− 18 s) in the
extreme-ultraviolet spectral region, several measurement techniques have been introduced …

Over the past few decades, coherent broadband spectroscopy has been widely used to
improve our understanding of ultrafast processes (eg, photoinduced electron transfer, proton …

UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the initiation phase of skin cancer. When left
unrepaired or when damaged cells are not eliminated by apoptosis, DNA lesions express …

The photophysics and photochemistry of DNA is of great importance due to the potential
damage of the genetic code by UV light. Quantum mechanical studies have played a key …
