Bücher der Reihe Springer Series in Chemical Physics

This volume offers a coherent account of the concepts that underlie different approaches devised for the determination of free energies. It provides insight into the theoretical and computational foundations of the subject and presents relevant applications from molecular-level modeling and simulations of chemical and biological systems.

The PUILS series delivers up-to-date reviews of progress in Ultrafast Intense Laser Science, a newly emerging interdisciplinary research field spanning atomic and molecular physics, molecular science and optical science which has been stimulated by the recent developments in ultrafast laser technologies.

This volume covers a range of topics from this interdisciplinary field, focusing on coherent responses of gaseous and condensed matter to ultrashort intense laser pulses, propagation of intense laser pulses, and laser-plasma interaction and its applications.

Recently, molecular electronics, especially that utilizing single molecules, has been attracting much attention. At that time, single-molecule manipulation techniques had not been born, and the research was mainly carried out on molecular films formed by the Langmuir~Blodgett technique, a wet process, and by molecular-beam epitaxy, a dry process.

This thirteenth volume in the PUILS series covers a broad range of topics from this interdisciplinary research field, focusing on atoms, molecules, and clusters interacting in intense laser field and high-order harmonics generation and their applications.

Homogeneous Catalysis with Metal Complexes discusses the important role the redox process plays in chemical systems, the reactions occurring in living organisms, environmental processes, atmosphere, water, soil, and industrial technologies.

With a foreword written by a Nobel Laureate, this book describes the development and current state-of-the-art in single molecule spectroscopy. The application of this technique, which started 1989, in physics, chemistry and biosciences is displayed.

This book introduces a new and successful concept for thermodynamics: nonequilibrium phase diagrams. This concept has been successfully applied to diamond synthesis. The book goes on to demonstrate how these diagrams lead to a complete new systematization of modern thermodynamics.

Since many of these developments reach into the molecular domain, the - derstanding of nano-structured functional materials equally necessitates f- damental aspects of molecular physics, chemistry, and biology.

The theory presented in this book explains in a consistent manner all dynamics effects observed in very concentrated solutions and melts of linear polymers from a macromolecular point of view. The presentation is compact and self-contained.

This book gives a comprehensive overview and introduction to analytical techniques for electrochemistry. It provides as complete an overview as possible and enables the reader to choose methods most suitable for tackling a particular task.

This book is the first detailed and comprehensive guide to the theory of optical band shape of guest-molecule-doped crystals, polymers and glasses. Its main focus is on the dynamics of a single molecule, measured with the help of a train of photons emitted at random time moments.

In 1984 Desmond O'Connor and David Phillips published their comprehensive book "Time-correlated Single Photon Counting". However, acquisition times were relatively slow due to the low repetition rate of the light sources and the limited speed of the electronics of the 70s and early 80s.

Providing the quantum-mechanical foundations of chemical bonding, this unique textbook emphasizes key concepts such as superposition, degeneracy of states and the role of the electron spin. Experimental examples are included to illustrate how the abstract concepts are manifest in real systems.
