With the advent of attosecond light pulses at the dawn of the twenty first century, access to the time scale of electronic motion, i.e., the ultimate time scale responsible for chemical transformations, was finally at our reach. Since the first attosecond pump-probe experiments performed in molecules [1,2], the field has grown exponentially, leading to a discipline that we call attochemistry [3]. As a result, it is nowadays possible to follow in real time the motion of the \u201cfast\u201d electronic motion in molecules, mostly in the gas phase, and understand how this motion affects the \u201cslower\u201d motion of atomic nuclei and vice versa. There are, however, new scenarios [4] that will allow one to extend the range of applications to more complex molecular systems, including the condensed phase, and to overcome some of the limitations of current attosecond technologies [5-9], such as the low intensity of attosecond pulses produced by high harmonic generation, the impossibility to generate such pulses in the visible and UV spectral regions to avoid molecular ionization, or the difficulties to combine them with truly<\/span> imaging methods as those used in condensed matter physics for direct time-resolved observations of the electron density without the need for reconstruction from measured photoelectron, photoion or transient absorption spectra. <\/span><\/p>\n In this talk, I will describe current experimental and theoretical efforts aiming at overcoming the above-mentioned limitations, thus giving attochemistry the necessary push to investigate problems of real chemical interest.<\/span><\/p>\n Fernando Mart\u00edn Departamento de Qu\u00edmica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain Instituto Madrile\u00f1o de Estudios Avanzados en Nanociencia (IMDEA-Nano), 28049 Madrid, Spain Attochemistry: chemistry at the attosecond time scale When: 12:00-13:00 CET, October 10th (Thursday), 2024 Where: Sal\u00f3n de Actos, ICMM-CSIC, Campus de Cantoblanco, Madrid With the advent of attosecond light pulses at … Continue reading Fernando Mart\u00edn (10\/10\/2024)<\/span> References:\r\n[1] G.
