This book brings together many different relaxation phenomena in
liquids under a common umbrella and provides a unified view of
apparently diverse phenomena. It aligns recent experimental results
obtained with modern techniques with recent theoretical
developments. Such close interaction between experiment and theory
in this area goes back to the works of Einstein, Smoluchowski,
Kramers' and de Gennes. Development of ultrafast laser spectroscopy
recently allowed study of various relaxation processes directly in
the time domain, with time scales going down to picosecond (ps) and
femtosecond (fs) time scales. This was a remarkable advance because
many of the fundamental chemical processes occur precisely in this
range and was inaccessible before the 1980s. Since then, an
enormous wealth of information has been generated by many groups
around the world, who have discovered many interesting phenomena
that has fueled further growth in this field. As emphasized
throughout the book, the seemingly different phenomena studied in
this area are often closely related at a fundamental level. Biman
Bagchi explains why relatively small although fairly sophisticated
theoretical tools have been successful in explaining a wealth of
experimental data at a semi-phenomenological level.
