Photon correlation spectroscopy of molecular processes in solution

Abstract

In the initial period of application of photon correlation spectroscopy to molecular phenomena, attention has mainly been focused on the improvement of experimental approaches and instrumental techniques, on feasibility studies of certain cases where theoretical considerations seemed to indicate the prospective usefulness and on various applications that are relatively straightforward, such as the measurement of translational or rotational diffusion coefficients, or the determination of flow velocity by Doppler anemometry.
