Optical Control of Molecular Dynamics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Lasertechnologie machen es möglich: Heute lassen sich chemischeReaktionen auf mikroskopischem Niveau steuern, indem man mit Hilfe von Lasern äußere Felder unterschiedlicher Intensität, Phase oder spektraler Zusammensetzung an ein System anlegt. So kann man die Moleküldynamik gezielt beeinflussen. Ein hochaktuelles Forschungsgebiet! Sie wollen mehr darüber erfahren? Ein ausgezeichneter Fachmann der chemischen Physik erläutert Ihnen hier den derzeitigen Stand der Forschungsarbeiten. (05/00)

Autorenporträt

Stuart A. Rice received his master's and doctorate from Harvard University and was a Junior Fellow at Harvard for two years before joining the faculty of The University of Chicago in 1957 where he remains a well-known theoretical chemist who also does experimental research and is currently the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at The University of Chicago. Professor Rice has served the university in a wide variety of capacities during his forty-eight year tenure. He served as the director of the James Franck Institute (the university's center for physical chemistry and condensed matter physics) from 1961 to 1967, was Chairman of the Department of Chemistry from 1971 to 1976 and was Dean of the Physical Sciences Division from 1981 to 1995. In 1999 he received the National Medal of Science. In addition to his work at the University, he is currently on the Board of Governors at Argonne National Laboratory, managed by and affiliated with The University of Chicago, as well as Tel Aviv University. He has served as editor for Chemical Physics Letters, in addition to the series on Advances in Chemical Physics. He currently maintains a full research lab but has retired from teaching classes.

Rezensionen

"...this text reflects the fact that all the central themes of this theory have since been experimentally validated." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 24, No. 4, December 2000)
"...an outstanding contribution that will be of value to both experimentalists and theoreticians..." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 123, No. 41, 2001)
