Modern Trends In Chemical Reaction Dynamics

Download or read book Modern Trends in Chemical Reaction Dynamics written by Xueming Yang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004-11-22 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of chemical reaction dynamics has made tremendous progress during the last decade or so. This is due largely to the development of many new, state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical techniques during that period. It is beneficial to present these advances, both theoretical and experimental, in a review volume (Parts I and II). The primary purpose of this review volume is to provide graduate students and experts in the field with a rather detailed picture of the current status of advanced experimental and theoretical research in chemical reaction dynamics. All chapters in these two parts have been written by world-renowned experts active in such research.
