Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies are discussed for the femtosecond wavepacket dynamics and reaction of iodine in compressed argon solution and in the collision-free gas phase limit. Classical and quantum calculations are compared with experiment and are used to demonstrate the influence of the solvent on wavepacket nuclear motion dephasing, on the caging and recombination of the separating iodine atoms, and on iodine vibrational relaxation. It is shown that these phenomena are observed on the time scale in which they occur.
