Description
Much of what we know about atoms, molecules, and the nature of matter has been obtained using spectroscopy over the last one hundred years
or so. In this book we have collected together twenty chapters by eminent scientists from around the world to describe their work at
the cutting edge of molecular spectroscopy. These chapters describe new methodology and applications, instrumental developments, and
theory which is taking spectroscopy into new frontiers. The range of topics is broad. Lasers are utilized in much of the research, but
their applications range from sub-femtosecond spectroscopy to the study of viruses and also to the investigation of art and archeological
artifacts. Three chapters discuss work on biological systems and three others represent laser physics. The recent advances in cavity
ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS), surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS), and microwave
techniques are all covered. Chapters on electronic excited states, molecular dynamics, symmetry applications, and neutron scattering
are also included and demonstrate the wide utility of spectroscopic techniques.
Audience
This book is suitable for researchers, students and scientists.
