Molecular Photophysics and Spectroscopy (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As with the first edition, intentionally in contrast to most older textbooks and monographs, this approach dwells less on high-level theory and instrumentation: instead, the emphasis is on describing physical principles and mechanisms, supplemented by examples of real-world applications. Key equations are included, and their origins are explained, but the mathematics is again kept to a minimum though quantitative understanding is nevertheless put into practice via example calculations throughout the text. The required knowledge of university-level calculus and linear algebra seldom extends beyond recognizing the meaning of derivatives, integrals, and matrices. As such, this book will be invaluable to senior undergraduates and graduate students seeking an accessible overview of the major topics in modern photophysics and molecular spectroscopy.

This excellent book is pitched just at the right level for an undergraduate or introductory graduate course. For instance, it discusses fundamental spectroscopy, that many students will have seen before in standard courses, then connects those concepts to more advanced and applied topics. Gregory D.

Autorenporträt

David Andrews is known for advances in the theory of quantum and nonlinear optics, fundamental photonics, energy transport, and optical vortices. He has published 400 papers and over twenty books, including as author or co-author Lasers in Chemistry, Optical Harmonics in Molecular Systems, Optical Nanomanipulation, and an Introduction to Photon Science and Technology. David has taught extensively at the University of East Anglia and run numerous spectroscopy courses for industry: he has twice been Chair of the Royal Society of Chemistry Molecular Spectroscopy Group. Andrews is a Chartered Chemist and Chartered Physicist, and he is the 2021 President of SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics.

Rob Lipson has published extensively in the areas of laser spectroscopy, nanoscience, and novel material for photonics applications. He has taught a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate level physical chemistry courses at Western University and the University of Victoria (UVic). Administratively, he has served as Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Western and two terms as Dean of Science at UVic. In addition to his academic work, he was also a long-serving Senior Editor of the Canadian Journal of Chemistry, and a panel member on numerous funding and research integrity committees for the federal Government of Canada. Lipson is a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada.
