Kategoria BISAC: Science >> Physics - Atomic & Molecular

This is the first comprehensive treatment of the interactions of atoms and molecules with charged particles, photons and laser fields. Addressing the subject from a unified viewpoint, the volume reflects our present understanding of many-particle dynamics in rearrangement and fragmentation reactions.

The chapters provide in-depth reviews covering precision measurements, accurate calculations, fundamental constants, frequency standards, and tests of fundamental theory. The latest progress in each of these areas is also described for the specialist. The topics selected for this book are largely complementary to those of the earlier related volume, LNP 570.

Design of new molecular materials is emerging as a new interdisciplinary research field. Corresponding reports are scattered in literature, and this book constitutes one of the first attempts to overview ongoing research efforts. It provides basic information, as well as the details of theory and examples of its application, to experimentalists and theoreticians interested in modeling molecular properties and putting into practice rational design of new materials.

Fur Studierende der Physik im Hauptstudium ist das Buch ein Begleittext zu Vorlesungen uber Atom-, Molekul-, Kern- und Elementarteilchenphysik; hier sind die experimentellen Aspekte starker berucksichtigt als in den haufig theoriebetonten Vorlesungen. Weil die genannten Vorlesungen in der Regel "Wahlpflichtfacher" sind, von denen meist nur zwei gewahlt werden, bestehen am Ende des Studiums Wissenslucken, die mit Hilfe dieses Lehrbuchs im Selbststudium geschlossen werden konnen. Fur Doktoranden bietet es eine kompetente Heranfuhrung an die Fachliteratur. Daruber hinaus wendet sich das Buch...

The multiparticle systems dealt with here - gases, nanosystems and fluids - involve all forms of matter that are to be categorized between particles (Constituents of Matter, Volume 4) and solids (Volume 6). Experiments are emphasized and in addition, all major theoretical initiatives and approximations as well as all current major discoveries are described by leading experts. Nanoparticles and functional nanosystems have been the subject of increasing interest over recent years, including for practical applications. Their production, the analysis of their physical properties and their...
