Authors: Garcia-Vela, Alberto Journal: JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL THEORY AND COMPUTATION Publication date: 2025/02/10 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jctc.4c01677 Abstract: Control of molecular reaction dynamics has been pursued in the last decades. Among these reactions are molecular photodissociation processes governed by resonances. Controlling the lifetime of such resonances imply to control the time duration of the processes. Here, some [...]
