A Method of Calculating Cross Sections for Molecular Collisions: October, 1954 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical guide to calculating cross sections for slow, inelastic molecular collisions. This work presents a relatively fast method for determining how energy transfers between molecular vibrational modes and translational motion occur during collisions, using a perturbation approach and an impact-parameter framework.
Written for researchers and students in physical chemistry and chemical physics, the book balances theory with workable techniques. It acknowledges the challenges of modeling intermolecular potentials and translational motion while offering a tractable path to quantitative results in cases where traditional Born-approximation methods fail.
- Learn how to set up a translational–internal system with a clear separation of degrees of freedom and a perturbation that couples them.
- See how the WKB method can be applied in an impact-parameter formulation to compute cross sections.
- Understand how to treat short-range perturbations and turn-point regions, focusing on the region where the interaction is strongest.
- Explore the distinction between classical and quantum limits and how they affect the calculated cross sections.
Ideal for readers of advanced molecular collision theory, quantum mechanics in gases, and statistical models of intermolecular forces.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an innovative method for calculating the cross sections of slow inelastic molecular collisions. The author discusses how quantum and classical features are combined to elucidate a problem previously treated as purely classical or quantum mechanical. The method presented is distinguished by its use of impact parameters to calculate total cross sections, offering a more accurate and efficient approach than existing perturbation methods. The book provides a detailed exploration of the WKB method and perturbation matrix elements, aiming to aid understanding of the complex interactions at play in molecular collisions. Ultimately, the insights gained from this method contribute to the field of theoretical chemistry and provide a foundation for further research into the behavior of molecules at the quantum level. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332157013_0
