Gas-Phase Photoprocesses

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides details of the basic frameworks and characteristics of processes occurring in electronically excited states of small molecules, complexes, and clusters. It discusses the perturbations in electronically excited valence states of molecules induced by intramolecular interaction and intermolecular interactions, which occur in collisions and optically populated, weakly bound complexes. Further, it describes the kinetics and mechanisms of photoprocesses in simple molecules and recombination accompanied by radiation. The book also offers information on general kinetics for gas-phase processes and basic theoretical frameworks for elementary processes.

It features many useful problems, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in molecular spectroscopy/molecular physics and chemical physics/physical chemistry.

Autorenporträt

Anatoly M. Pravilov is a Professor of physics at Saint Petersburg State University, Russia. Pravilov teaches kinetics and mechanisms of gas-phase processes and radiometry. The focus of his current research interests lies in gas-phase photochemistry as well as spectroscopy and dynamics in small molecules and weakly bound complexes. He has already published a book on Photoprocesses in Molecular Gases, in 1992 in Russia, a Springer book on Radiometry in Modern Scientific Experiments, in 2011 and a Springer book on The Iodine Molecule: Insights into Intra-and Intermolecular Perturbations in Diatomic Molecules, in 2018.
