Overview
Recent years have seen an explosion in the volume of work carried out using supersonic jets of molecules following the discovery that the technique could provide information on structure and dynamics of a very high quality otherwise impossible to obtain. Written and edited by a first class team of authors, acknowledged world leaders in their subjects, this book describes applications in detail along with analysis of data recorded and background theory. Physical chemists and chemical physicists will find this unique book an essential concentrated source of information and reference.

Contributors analyze data and describe applications of research in jet spectroscopy and molecular dynamics. They cover the spectroscopy of molecules, free radicals, and clusters in supersonic jets and beams, from the microwave region through the visible and ultraviolet regions. Topics include electronic and infrared spectroscopy, jet spectra of aromatic molecules, fast relaxation processes in jet-cooled van der Waals clusters, and the effects of optically dark states. Of interest to physical chemists and chemical physicists. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
