Advanced Series in Physical Chemistry - Vol. 6

THE CHEMICAL DYNAMICS AND KINETICS OF SMALL RADICALS
(In 2 Parts)

edited by K Liu (Inst. of Atomic & Molecular Sci.) & A Wagner (Argonne Nat'l Lab.)

This book highlights recent progress in the chemistry of radicals. Developments include the growing use of lasers to generate radicals, the application of lasers to provide state, angular, polarization, energy and real-time resolution in kinetics and dynamics experiments, the development of theories for handling the reactions of radicals, and the simulation of the reaction dynamics of increasingly larger systems for direct comparison to experimental results. The book emphasizes the increasing interaction between experimental dynamics, kinetics and theory. It is appropriate for chemistry graduate students and researchers about to enter the field. However, the discussions of some topics progress to a more advanced level so that even an expert will find the book useful.
