Overview

This series edited by Nobel Prize winner Ida Prigogine and renowned authority Stuart A. Rice provides general information about a wide variety of topics in chemical physics. Experts present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest and to encourage the expression of individual points of view. This approach to presenting an overview of a subject will both stimulate new research and serve as a personalized learning text for beginners in the field.

Synopsis

The latest edition of the leading forum in chemical physics

Edited by Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine and renowned authority Stuart A. Rice, the Advances in Chemical Physics series provides a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations in every area of the discipline. In a format that encourages the expression of individual points of view, experts in the field present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest. Volume 125 covers a wide range of subjects, with significant, up-to-date chapters by internationally recognized researchers. The editors collect innovative papers on "Finite Size Scaling for Atomic and Molecular Systems," "Control of Quantum Dynamics by Laser Pulses-Adiabatic Floquet Theory," "Recent Advances in the Theory of Vibration-Rotation Hamiltonians," and several other related topics. Advances in Chemical Physics remains the premier venue for presentations of new findings in its field.

Four papers present an overview and analysis of Doppler spectroscopy used with photofragmentation; vibrational predissociation dynamics of Van der Waals complexes and product rotational state distributions; electron scattering by small molecules; and time-dependent semiclassical mechanics. For researchers and students in chemical physics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From The Critics

Nine recent papers represent the current state of chemical physics. They discuss transition path sampling, chemical reaction dynamics, chaos, single molecule spectroscopy, self-similarity, electron- correlated approaches, the computational chemistry of acids, cooperative effects of hydrogen bonding, and nonadiabatic electron- transfer reactions. Numerous charts and graphs provide a visual display of the data. The contributors include chemical engineers, chemical biologists, and other scientists from the United States, Japan, Brazil, and Germany. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

From the Publisher

"...studies continue the series in which specialists provide a general description of the status and developments in...chemical physics..." (SciTech Book News, March 2001)
