Molecules and Their Spectroscopic Properties presents a comprehensive collection of geometrical and spectroscopic constants and collisional characteristics for molecules most important in applications, with data on: energy levels, fundamental vibrational frequencies, electron and proton affinities, dipole moments and polarizabilities, ionization potentials and effective cross sections for various elementary processes occurring in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, chemical processes, and molecular lasers. Besides the tabulated and graphical material, the most important physical...

This book is devoted to one of the most active domains of atomic physic- atomic physics of heavy positive ions. During the last 30 years, this terrain has attracted enormous attention from both experimentalists and theoreti- cians. On the one hand, this interest is stimulated by rapid progress in the development of laboratory ion sources, storage rings, ion traps and methods for ion cooling. In many laboratories, a considerable number of complex and accurate experiments have been initiated, challenging new frontiers. Highly charged ions are used for investigations related to fundamental...
