Synopsis

State–Selected and State–to–State Ion–Molecule Reaction Dynamics Part 1: Experiment Edited by Cheuk–Yiu Ng and Michael Baer "It contains a wealth of technical detail and experience and is a must for anyone using, or contemplating using, position–sensitive detection methods." Chemical Engineering Science Illustrated with eight in–depth studies, which shed light on the key experimental work being done in the field today, Part 1 of State–Selected and State–to–State Ion–Molecule Reaction Dynamics is a well–organized look at the experimental side of this highly useful and emerging chemical specialty. Part 1 s progressive coverage includes: a comprehensive review of the theory and application of inhomogeneous rf fields; the application of multiphoton ionization for the preparation of reactant ion states; the conceptual and practical aspects of a multicoincidence technique; and the experimental results obtained using the photoionization and differential reactivity methods. 1992 (0–471–53258–4) 704 pp. State–Selected and State–to–State Ion–Molecule Reaction Dynamics Part 2: Theory Edited by Michael Baer and Cheuk–Yiu Ng Using clear illustrative examples culled from up–to–date research, Part 2: Theory makes the theory fundamental to state–to–state reaction dynamics not only understandable, but relevant to every day experimental work. Focusing exclusively on the theory of charge transfer processes during an atom (ion)–molecule (ion) collision, the book examines the different attitudes for treating the potential energy surfaces which govern the motion of the interacting atoms and ions and the reaction dynamics of these particles. The book also uses a variety of approaches, from the pure quantum mechanical approach, various semiclassical approaches to several statistical approaches, to address key issues in reaction dynamics. 1992 (0–471–53263–0) 576 pp. Advances in Chemical Physics Volume 84 Edited by I. Prigogine and Stuart A. Rice Volume 84 of this heralded series offers readers a detailed, up–to–date look at a host of important issues in chemical physics, including: the collisional time–correlation function approach to molecular energy transfer; molecular theory of liquid phase vibrational energy relaxation; electron degradation in molecular substances; and simulation of nonlinear electronic spectroscopy in the condensed phase. 1993 (0–471–58726–5) 560 pp.

From the Inside Flap

The immense strides in optical science that have taken place since the statistical molecular theories of electric, magnetic, and optical saturation phenomena that came to light in the late fifties have been remarkable. This volume of influential review articles from many of the leading laboratories around the world details the most important research and findings to date on modern nonlinear optics. Coedited by a leading figure at the Pozna??? School, this current volume reflects the rigor, high standards, and innovative science for which the school has long been internationally renowned. This latest volume in Wiley s Advances in Chemical Physics series continues the series tradition of presenting key research in chemical physics in a stimulating, broadly instructive format. Designed for the scientist determined to keep abreast of the literature in the many corners of scientific research, these volumes have provided an informative, accessible look at the newest areas of analytical investigation. And Modern Nonlinear Optics, Volume 85 in the series, offers readers a selective look at a host of cutting–edge research topics. Part 3 of Modern Nonlinear Optics is not simply a lively forum on the key discoveries and issues currently shaping optical science, but a certain stimulus for further advanced, cutting–edge research. Professionals interested in the newest and most influential discoveries and issues shaping optical science today will also find in Modern Nonlinear Optics a unique glimpse at the state of the science tomorrow.
