Molecular Rays
Author: Ronald G. J. Fraser
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107593417
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Originally published in 1931, this book is concerned with the task of furthering the development of the physical method of molecular rays and was intended for the general reader. Written from an experimental standpoint, the book is a user-friendly survey, which could only be otherwise obtained by extensive reading of original papers. Chapters are broad in scope and range from 'The Diffraction of molecular rays' to 'Chemical equilibria, ionisation and spectroscopic applications'. Notably, chapter one, which deals with the technique of the production and measurement of the rays, has been written in more detail and serves as a laboratory manual for beginners in experimental work in molecular rays. Diagrams and plate sections are included for reference. This book includes almost every problem of surface chemistry and will be of great value to scholars in the field as well as to anyone with an interest in the history of physical chemistry.

Double Photoionisation Spectra of Molecules
Author: John H. D. Eland
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198788983
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This is the first ever compendium of double photoionisation spectra, covering some 70 of the most important small and medium sized molecules and thus providing an essential starting point for studies of the consequences of ionisation by high energy photons in both terrestrial and astrophysical environments. It also provides a complete non-mathematical description of all the phenomena and pathways involved in molecular double photoionisation. Most spectra are presented with identification of the electronic states and leading orbital configurations. The technique of magnetic bottle time-of-flight electron spectroscopy, used for all the spectra, is fully explained and compared with other techniques. For each molecule, the book gives full references to relevant work by complementary techniques and to theoretical calculations. Written in a clear non-mathematical style, this book is accessible to students as well as more experienced researchers. The authors have designed the layout for easy retrieval of any desired spectrum through the systematic organisation and ordering of the compounds and thorough indexing. As well as being a compendium of spectra, the book is a textbook covering all the known phenomenological aspects of molecular double photoionisation. The important phenomena are first mentioned in the introductory chapters, and are discussed in more detail in connection with the groups of molecules and individual cases where they are most relevant. The most useful spectra will be available in digital form for users.

Photoionization And Photodetachment (In 2 Parts)
Author: Cheuk-yiu Ng
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814494739
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 684
Book Description
Owing to the advances of vacuum ultraviolet and ultrafast lasers and third generation synchrotron sources, the research on photoionization, photoelectrons, and photodetachment has gained much vitality in recent years. These new light sources, together with ingenious experimental techniques, such as the coincidence imaging, molecular beam, pulsed field ionization photoelectron, mass-analyzed threshold ion, and pulsed field ion pair schemes, have allowed spectroscopic, dynamic, and energetic studies of gaseous species to a new level of detail and accuracy. Profitable applications of these methods to liquids are emerging.This invaluable two-volume review consists of twenty-two chapters, focusing on recent developments in photoionization and photodetachment studies of atoms; molecules, transient species, clusters, and liquids.

New Directions in Atomic Physics
Author: C.T. Whelan
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780306461811
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The last few years have seen some remarkable advances in the understanding of atomic phenomena. It is now possible to isolate atomic systems in traps, measure in coincidence the fragments of collision processes, routinely produce, and study multicharged ions. One can look at bulk matter in such a way that the fundamental atomic character is clearly evident and work has begun to tease out the properties of anti matter. The papers in this book reflect many aspects of modem Atomic Physics. They correspond to the invited talks at a conference dedicated to the study of "New Directions in Atomic Physics," which took place in Magdalene College, Cambridge in July of 1998. The meeting was designed as a way of taking stock of what has been achieved and, it was hoped, as a means of stimulating new research in new areas, along new lines. Consequently, an effort was made to touch on as many directions as we could in the four days of the meeting. We included some talks which overviewed whole subfields, as well as quite a large number of research contributions. There is a unity to Physics and we tried to avoid any artificial division between theory and experiment. We had roughly the same number of talks from those who are primarily concerned with making measurements, and from those who spend their lives trying to develop the theory to describe the experiments.

Quantum Mechanical Electronic Structure Calculations with Chemical Accuracy
Author: S. Langhoff
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401101930
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
The principal focus of this volume is to illustrate the level of accuracy currently achievable by ab initio quantum chemical calculations. While new developments in theory are discussed to some extent, the major emphasis is on a comparison of calculated properties with experiment. This focus is similar to the one taken in a book, Comparison of Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry with Experiment for Small Molecules, edited by Rodney Bartlett (Reidel, 1984). However, the phenomenal improvement in both theoretical methods and computer architecture have made it possible to obtain accurate results for rather large molecular systems. This is perhaps best illustrated in this volume by the chapter entitled `Spectroscopy of Large Organic Molecules' by Bjorn Roos and coworkers. For example, the electronic spectra of the nucleic acid base monomer structures shown on the front cover have been obtained using a fully correlated ab initio study. For researchers, teachers and students in chemistry and physics.
