"Advances in Chemical Kinetics and Dynamics" publishes authoritative reviews of important new research on the rates, mechanisms and dynamics of chemical reactions. This series will include reviews of work in the gas phase, condensed phase and on surfaces, and will include discussions of experiment, theory and important applications. The series should attract wide readership, not only from physical chemists and chemical physicists working in the field, but from those in other areas seeking an ins...

Advances in Quantum Chemistry (Advances in Quantum Chemistry)
by Per Oliv Lowdin
Advances in Quantum Chemistry publishes surveys of current developments in the rapidly developing field of quantum chemistry--a field that falls between the historically established areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. With invited reviews written by leading international researchers, each presenting new results, this quality serial provides a single vehicle for following progress in this interdisciplinary area.
Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths (Handbook on the Physics & Chemistry of Rare Earths)
The rare earths play a unique role in science. These seventeen related elements afford a panoply of subtle variations deriving from the systematic development of their electronic configurations, allowing a test of theory with excellent resolution. In contrast they find widespread use in even the most mundane processes such as steel making, for polishing materials and gasoline cracking catalysts. In between are exotic uses such as TV screen phosphors, lasers, high strength permanent magnets and c...
Energy Dissipation in Molecular Systems
by Andre Tramer, Christian Jungen, and Francoise Lahmani
Energy Dissipation in Molecular Systems analyzes experimental data on the redistribution and dissipation of energy injected into molecular systems by radiation or charged particles. These processes, competing with such practically important relaxation channels as chemical reaction or stimulated emission (laser action), are the primary focus in this monograph. Among other topics, the book treats vibrational redistribution and electronic relaxation in isolated molecules and the effects of inter-mo...
Recommended Reference Materials for the Realization of Physicochemical Properties (IUPAC Publications)
The development of molecular electronics has become the mainstream of scientific research in recent decades. Applications include light-emitting diodes, solar cells, thin-film transistors, and sensors, among others. New-generation organic materials possess the virtues of softness, light weight, easy processing, design flexibility, and so on. This b
It is very rewarding for an author to know that his book is to be translated into another language and become available to a new circle of readers. The study of the optics and spectroscopy of activated crys- stals has continued to grow. The development and first remarkable successes of light scattering by impurities in crystals have occurred in the comparatively short time since my original book was sent to press. After experimental observation of the sidebands (wings) in impurity infrared absor...
Nanocrystals from Oriented-Attachment for Energy Applications (SpringerBriefs in Energy)
by Weidong He, Kechun Wen, and Yinghua Niu
This brief provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and materials technologies utilizing oriented-attachment nanocrystals (OA NCs) for the energy conversion devices. Starting with a historical introduction, the book presents basic theory with an emphasis on thermodynamic and kinetic models of the oriented-attachment nanocrystals growth. Further chapters review recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and application of the oriented-attachment nanocrystals in fuel cel...
Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes (Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes)
by Angelica Ottova-Leitmannova
The lipid bilayer is central to life, as all living organisms possess a lipid bilayer structure, thereby underlying the lipid bilayer principle of biomembranes. The lipid bilayer principle and its applications are the main theme of this new book series. This new series on bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs and liposomes) include invited chapters on a broad range of topics, from theoretical investigations, specific studies, experimental methods, to practical applications. Written for newcomers,...
Principles of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
by Eric Le Ru and Pablo Etchegoin
SERS was discovered in the 1970s and has since grown enormously in breadth, depth, and understanding. One of the major characteristics of SERS is its interdisciplinary nature: it lies at the boundary between physics, chemistry, colloid science, plasmonics, nanotechnology, and biology. By their very nature, it is impossible to find a textbook that will summarize the principles needed for SERS of these rather dissimilar and disconnected topics. Although a basic understanding of these topics is nec...
With the development in recent years of NMR spectrometers capable of recording with a minimum of effort data that are both accurate and reproducible, a need has arisen for spectra catalogs and data books to aid the researcher. The ability to correlate a spectrum to a precalibrated chart accurately (to within 0. 02 ppm) has made chemical shift, along with the character of the spectral lines produced, an increasingly important tool in configurational analysis-a tool which this book is designed to...
Liquid-Fluid Interfaces. Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science, Volume 3
by J Lyklema
The IAEA has the specific statutory function within the United Nations system of establishing standards of safety for the protection of health against exposure to ionizing radiation. As part of this mandate, the IAEA has issued Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, and has also established the Transport Safety Appraisal Service (TranSAS) to carry out, at the request of States, appraisals of the implementation of these regulations. The IAEA carried out such an appraisal in P...
Advances in Oxygenated Processes (Advances in oxygenated processes, #1)
After studying ring-chain tautomerism of keto ami des and related derivatives of functionalized carboxylic acids for more than ten years, the authors consider it useful to summarize available results on these prototropic equilibria. First attempts to systematize the material were published by Jones in 1963 (Chapter 1, ref. 11). Much, sometimes contradictory, experimental data were scattered about the literature at that time; spectroscopic methods, applied to this field during the last two decade...
