Experts in the field cover a wide range of theoretical and practical aspects of photodissociation and photoionization. This complete survey covers everything from laser isotope separation at the applied end to current theories of the quantum mechanics of photodissociation.
Shows the diversity and sophistication of present knowledge of molecular collisions and the forces that govern their outcome, examining major aspects from the point of view of the potential surface. Covers such topics as angle dependent potentials, vibranic coupling, and branching ratios in simple atomic reactions.
The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics and physical chemistry fields with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive manner not found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of the Advances in Chemical Physics series serves as the perfect supplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study of chemical physics.
This text is the first of a two-volume work on molecule surface interactions addressing topics in chemical physics, surface science, physical chemistry, materials science, and electronics and semiconductor manufacture. As with the other titles in the Advances in Chemical Physics series, the chapters are written by an international group of contributors and cover a wide range of important issues in the field.
How to use analysis and process control instruments in waste water treatment is described in this book. Practice-experienced authors provide easy to understand guidelines. Choosing the right equipment and interpreting results correctly is made easy.
This is the fascinating, first-hand story of the groundbreaking invention by Nobel prizewinner Karl Ziegler and the patent fights between his research team at the Max Planck Institute of Carbon Research in Germany and the «giants» of the petrochemicals industry, such as Du Pont and Esso. The author joined Ziegler's group throughout the entire period, providing an entertaining case study of an innovative chemical discovery, presenting interesting historical as well as scientific information. An impressive example of the fights between academia and industry concerning patent rights and the economic utilization of academic research innovations.
The 95th volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.
