Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to understand the details of low frequency structural dynamic of molecular system via clear observations of intermolecular interaction dynamics. For this, we developed a method to selectively initiate such a low frequency dynamics and a new apparatus for real-time imaging of molecular cluster dynamics. With the use of our new approach, we succeeded in detecting ion images of molecular clusters and in tracking vibrational and rotational dynamics for the first time.
