Opis

Addressing students of theoretical and quantum chemistry and their counterparts in physics, this book introduces chemical physics as a gateway to fields such as photo physics, solid state physics, and electrochemistry. Offering relevant background in theory and applications, it covers the foundations of quantum mechanics and molecular structure, as well as more specialized topics such as transfer reactions and photochemistry. It employs numerous case studies and applications to quantum chemical problems in real, modern research including excited electronic states, biological metal centers, and condensed phase experiments. Math problems and solutions are available online.
