Abstract

Photophysics and photochemistry in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV; energies greater than ~6 eV) is dominated, to one extent or another, by the presence of highly-excited (Rydberg, or R) states. Indeed, a large majority of questions in modern atomic and molecular physics impinge on the structure of Rydberg states and their continuum counterparts, questions as diverse as, for example, the nature of electron transfer in gaseous and condensed phases; the effects of electric and magnetic fields on highly-excited states; field-ionization of R states as a means of constructing weakfield detectors; the use of highly-excited states as tunable microwave sensors and in the construction of tunable microwave lasers; etc. This listing could obviously be extended; and, in fact, it is extended -- both in breadth and in depth -- in the following chapters in this volume.
