Opis

The first published source of material on the principles of the subject, this book provides a detailed account of basic theory required for an understanding of two-dimensional vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. It also bridges the gap between the formal development of nonlinear optical spectroscopy and the application of the theory to explain experimental results. The author presents novel definitions and theoretical frameworks for linear and nonlinear response spectroscopy and describes a range of two-dimensional spectroscopic techniques to compare the merits and disadvantages of each technique. He also includes various examples and applications to real molecular and electronic systems.

Recenzje

This is the first book dedicated exclusively to two-dimensional nonlinear optical spectroscopy and is a much needed contribution to the field. … a noteworthy achievement. Cho does an exceptional job of paring down the material into its key components. Along with well-chosen examples, the material is presented in a logical and concise manner. … The book is a valuable resource for experts and nonexperts alike. To the latter, it provides a comprehensive introduction; to the former, it serves as an up-to-date reference source summarizing the current state-of-the-art. In short, it is poised to become the standard text in two-dimensional optical spectroscopy.
