WAKABAYASHI Tomonari: Professor Dr. Sc.; Department/Science　 Graduate school/Science　Science（兼担）

Laser ablated polyenes and fullerenes are studied by molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. With experimental and theoretical knowledges on stability and structures of carbon molecules, microscopic views of high-temperature molecular processes are discussed.
