Drs. Bernstein and Kelley plan a study of the time resolved                     photophysics and photochemistry of molecules and molecular                      clusters prepared and isolated in a supersonic molecular jet.                   The work will be centered about supersonic molecular jet                        spectroscopic studies of solute-solvent clusters and solute                     dimers and will also deal with time resolved (picosecond)                       spectroscopy of simple chemical reactions and intramolecular                    dynamics.  The molecular jet produces very cold molecules and                   clusters isolated for easy optical spectroscopic                                characterization by techniques including fluorescence                           excitation, dispersed emission, and two-color time of flight                    mass spectroscopy.                                                                                                                                              Cryogenic solutions are of particular spectroscopic interest                    for the study of the liquid state, and solution phenomena in                    general.  Well known molecular systems can be employed as                       dilute spectroscopic probes of the solvent, and the low                         temperature of the solution allows one to obtain excellent                      liquid state spectroscopic resolution.  It is possible to                       observe spectroscopically the formation of clusters, dimers,                    and van der Waals molecules; in essence, the preliminary stages                 of nucleation and precipitation processes in solution can be                    followed spectroscopically.
