During the three years since the publication of the first edition many applications of lasers in Chemistry have moved across the boundary from academic laboratories to routine instrumental analysis, laser mass spectrometry for instance. New photochemical techniques have been developed for the study of molecules, e.g. ultrafast spectroscopy. In keeping with his successfull concept, the author has retained a balance between coverage of more widely used laser methods and new developments.
This book is a sequel to my Chemical Thermodynamics: A Prob lems Approach published in 1967, which concerned classical thermodynamics almost exclusively. Most books on statistical thermodynamics now available are written either for the superior general chemistry student or for the specialist. The author has felt the need for a text which would bring the intermediate reader to the point where he could not only appreciate the roots of the subject but also have some facility in calculating thermody...
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (Perspectives in Condensed Matter Physics, #6)
The publication entitled "Surface Studies by Scanning Tunneling Mi Rl croscopy" by Binnig, Rohrer, Gerber and Weibel of the IBM Research Lab oratory in Riischlikon in 1982 immediately raised considerable interest in the sur face science community. It was demonstrated in Reference R1 that images from atomic structures of surfaces like individual steps could be obtained simply by scanning the surface with a sharp metal tip, which was kept in a constant distance of approximately 10 A from the sa...

Physical mechanics in the modern sense is from one side the part of continuum mechanics,...
The storage of electric energy depends on the capacity of the associated electrical components. The material's dielectric constant directly governs this capacity. Dielectric constants therefore gain renewed attention with the increasing need of saving, accumulating and delivering energy produced in the most various ways (wind energy, solar energy, feed-back energy etc.). This supplementary volume contains static dielectric constants as a function of temperature, and - for the binary mixtures - a...
