State-resolved collision-induced electronic transitions
Article Abstract:
Laser and molecular beam techniques have made possible the determination of rovibrational levels populated in collision-induced electronic transitions from given initial levels of several two-atom molecules. Understanding of state-resolved collision-induced electronic transitions leads to understanding of electronic quenching and energy transfer. State-to-state studies of the transitions give examples of perturbation-assisted paths from initial to final electronic states and of transitions independent of perturbation. The steps are made possible by nonadiabatic mixing brought on by a collision partner.

Nonadiabatic transitions: what we learned from old masters and how much we owe them
Article Abstract:
This article presents molecular dynamics of the nonadiabatic phenomenon. The dynamics of atomic and molecular collision and the effects of nonadiabatic state in scattering excited atoms and formation and decomposition of molecular complexes are explained.

Highly fluorescent noble-metal quantum dots
Article Abstract:
The fluorescence of noble-metal quantum dots is due to intraband transitions of free electrons. These transitions are highly polarizable.
