Theoretical Chemistry

Theoretical Chemistry: Theory of Scattering: Papers in Honor of Henry Eyring, Volume 6, Part B covers the aspects of the theory of scattering. The book discusses nonadiabatic molecular collisions; the applications of the surprisal theory; and the quantum theory of atomic collisions in intense laser fields. The text also describes the statistical methods in scattering. Chemists, physicists, people involved in the study of the theory of scattering, and students taking related courses will find the book useful.
