Laser Chemistry – Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Applications

Concentrating on molecular mechanisms and the fundamental nature of the phenomena, the book emphasises the basic science rather than presenting over-lengthy mathematical derivations and formalisms.

After introducing concepts and methodologies, an extensive range of examples in presented and discussed, covering spectroscopy, photochemistry, gas-phase, cluster, solution and surface reaction dynamics, analytical chemistry, medical chemistry and environmental chemistry. Additionally, a dedicated section on application is provided at the end of the book.

• assumes little prior knowledge and avoids excessive mathematical rigour
• detailed treatments and key issues are presented in separate boxes
• concentrates on molecular mechanism and the fundamental nature of laser chemistry
• provides an overview of experimental techniques and a broad range of case studies

Laser Chemistry: Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Applications is a valuable reference for students of chemical physics, physical chemistry, photochemistry, laser spectroscopy and analytical chemistry.
