Laser Chemistry: Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Applications provides a basic introduction to the subject, written for students and other novices. It assumes little in the way of prior knowledge, and carefully guides the reader through the important theory and concepts whilst introducing key techniques and applications.
Laser Chemistry: Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Applications is a carefully structured introduction to the basic theory and concepts of this subject. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, the book details underlying concepts and provides an overview of experimental techniques, supported by a broad range of case studies.
Concentrating on molecular mechanisms and the fundamental nature of the phenomena, the book emphasises the basic sciences rather than presenting over-lengthy mathematical derivations and formalisms.
After introducing concepts and methodologies, an extensive range of examples is presented and discussed, covering spectroscopy, photochemistry, gas-phase, cluster, solution and surface reaction dynamics, analytical chemistry, medical chemistry and environmental chemistry. Additionally, a dedicated section on applications is provided at the end of the book.
