Dr. Brown's collaborative work with Prof. Joel Bowman (Emory University) and Prof. Bowman's graduate student Dr. Shengli Zou (now a post-doc at Northwestern University) on vinylidene/acetylene isomerization was cited in an article "Watching a Molecule Break Up Reveals How Quickly It Changes Shape" in the August 2003 issue of Physics Today. See paper 23 in Publications.

Dr. Brown's calculations in collaboration with theoreticians Prof. G.G. Balint-Kurti (University of Bristol), Prof. J.A. Beswick (Universite Paul Sabetier), and Dr. O.S. Vasyutinskii (Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute) confirm the production of spin-polarized hydrogen atoms from the photodissociation of HCl. Spin-polarized hydrogen atoms were measured (indirectly) experimentally by the groups of T.P. Rakitzis and T.N. Kitsopoulos (both University of Crete) using slice imaging. This theoretical/experimental collaboration of a useful method for producing spin-polarized hydrogen was published in the June 20th issue of Science. The work was mentioned in the column "This week in Science" under the title "Split for its spin." See paper 25 in Publications.
