Zusammenfassung

The professorship aims at a fundemantal study of selectivity and efficiency in photoenergy conversion, which is a basic requirement for biological function. Although light contains no information on how its energy can be used, many molecules transform light energy selectively into particular degrees of freedom like heat, chemical bond change or charge transfer. The answer to selectivity and efficiency thus must be encoded in the photoexcited state of matter. The dynamical processes will be studied that happen on the photoexcited state during the decisive timescale for chemical change, ...
