Molecular Rotation Spectra (Dover Phoenix Editions)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The author of this volume, Sir Harold W. Kroto, received the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of fullerenes. His rigorous mathematical treatment offers a blend of the physical understanding necessary to formulate problems related to molecular rotation spectra and the abstract quantum mechanical expertise needed to solve them. "This book has more than the usual space devoted to some of the practical methods of analysing spectra and has many figures of well chosen spectra to illustrate various points."--Nature. Contents: 1. Quantum Mechanical Methods. 2. The Hamiltonian for a Rotating Molecule. 3. Angular Momentum and the Energy Levels of a Rigid Rotor. 4. Interaction of Radiation with a Rotating Molecule. 5. Basic Rotational Spectra and Analysis. 6. Vibration--Rotation Interactions. 7. The Stark Effect. 8. Nuclear Quadrupole Hyperfine Interactions. 9. Flexible Molecules. 10. Rotational Spectra of Linear Molecules with Electronic Angular Momentum. 11. Experimental Techniques. Appendixes. References. Author Index. Subject Index. Unabridged republication of the 1975 edition. 95 black-and-white illustrations.
