Chapter 1: Ultrafast Real-Time Vibrational Dynamics in J-Aggregates (1,192k)

This work deals with J-aggregates, which have a long history of research. The volume covers electronic states, linear and nonlinear optical properties. Various properties and processes of J-aggregates, such as super-radiance, excitons, photon echo, geometrical structure, electron transfer and femtosecond spectroscopy, are discussed.
