SUMMARY:Multidimensional spectroscopy of complex chemical systems: Usi
 ng nonlinearity to isolate signals\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\,
  Blaise Thompson\, UW Department of Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Chemical systems are typically composed of many individual
  components. Each component may be unique. Furthermore\, each componen
 t may experience a different chemical environment. At room temperature
 \, these environments evolve on ultrafast time scales. Scientists need
  specialized techniques to understand what is happening in these compl
 ex\, coupled systems.<br>
\n<br>
\nSpectroscopy uses the interaction o
 f light and matter to measure chemical energies. Multidimensional spec
 troscopy (MDS) capitalizes on nonlinearities in this interaction to pe
 er into higher-order properties of the chemical system. These higher-o
 rder signals reveal coupling parameters of the system. In this way\, s
 cientists can use MDS to isolate unique properties of chemical systems
  that cannot be measured through other means. Ultrafast dynamics can a
 lso be tracked.<br>
\n<br>
\nThis presentation will introduce the basi
 c concepts of MDS. An intuitive description of the technique will be p
 resented. Practical advantages will be highlighted.<br>
